"I heard you two broke up."
Yeah.
"Why?"
Things changed.
"How?"
I guess people just grow apart.
"But you guys were so cute together."
We were, weren't we?
"I thought you two would last."
We didn't.
"I heard he has someone else right now."
Hmmmm.
"Are you okay with it?"
Why wouldn't I be?
"Fresh wounds and all."
I'm healing.
"What are you up to now?
Moving on.
"I'm wishing you luck."
I need that more than anything.
"You'll do good."
Yes. I will.
"Are things between you two awkward?"
Well at first, but I guess we've cleared things up.
"That's quite an achievement."
It's better to not leave things behind.
"So, you're really going forward?"
We're all headed there anyway.
"Some of us choose to stay behind."
They've got their own reasons.
"I'm just glad you're doing fine."
I am, too. I thought I wouldn't, but I guess I wronged myself there.
"You're brave."
There was a day where I thought that wouldn't be possible.
"But you're here now."
I wouldn't be here for long.
"Huh?"
I'm taking another step tomorrow.
