He visited again today.

He wore black this time.

His hair was still in a quiff

And his smile still the same.

He approached me first this time.

Hey. He said.

I looked up.

Its been awhile. He said.

Yeah. It has. I replied.

You know something changed. He confessed.

Oh and what is that? I questioned.

Us. He looked away.

But there was never an "us". I said.

Actually there was. The way we fought. We werent together but we had a relationship. He fixed his quiff.

I see. So what changed. I hoped for some sign. I didnt know what kind but I did.

I used to have a urge to insult you. He confessed again.

You still do. But not as offensive. I looked down.

Now I.. He paused.

You what? I questioned.

I like you. He stared at me. I froze.
