Let's see, where should I start? Well, my life was changed three years ago. I met an amazing and talented guy that treated me like a queen. He's my best friend, my lover...my everything...Jimin. Like all relationships, we hit a rough patch but, with our overbearing love for each other, we worked things out. Unfortunately, soon after, he had to leave to pursue his dreams with music.

Promises where made that sadly, weren't able to be kept. It's no one's fault really. Jimin is extremely busy taking care of tight schedule's and he needs to focus on the music. We understand that very well. But it's been way too long of a wait for me.

I want to wait for Jimin but, the loneliness, the lack of communication-it's making me push him away. We talked once a week. Sometimes not at all for months. I still do love him with all of my heart. Honestly, I can't wait for him any longer. Who knows if he will ever come back?

Since Jimin has been gone, I've been doing pretty well actually. A lot better than what people expected. No depression, no tears, none of that. I'm in collage now with four more years to go through. My dad moved out with his girlfriend, that I have yet to meet, leaving me the house. I decided to stay mostly because the collage is close by.

At the time when I was offered to keep the house, I agreed because, at the time, I used to stare at Jimin's old house, into his bedroom like old times. Being that Zach (a collage student that moved into the neighborhood two years ago) lives there now, the house isn't the same. He painted the house a different color and planted tons of flowers along the porch. Speaking of Zach, as expected, we officially started our relationship as boyfriend and girlfriend earlier this year.

Like I said before, the loneliness and lack of communication made me push Jimin away. Yes, Jimin and the others are aware of my relationship with Zach. Come to think of it, Jimin and I haven't talked since I told him. 


Fast forwarding to the present: It's 8 in the morning on a Sunday. I rolled over on my bed to face the nightstand. After stretching, I picked up my cellphone and unplugged the charger. While rubbing my eyes, I checked the time.

"Rise and shine," I yawned.

I looked for any unread text messages and missed phone calls. As usual, texts and calls from old friends, family, Zach and...

"Holy shit," I whispered, "Jimin?"

My heart was pounding fast when I saw his name appear. I wasn't sure of what to do. I didn't know whether to respond or ignore. My finger was twitching as it hovered over the message. Becoming a nervous wreck, I sat my cell onto the nightstand.

Sitting up on my bed, I put my head into my hands. It was becoming hard for me to breath.

"I need to calm down," I said to myself, "it's just a text. He's not actually here."

I threw back the covers and stood up. I stretched again and turned back to make up my bed. Fighting the urge of wanting to read Jimin's text, I quickly walked into my bathroom. I brushed my teeth, did my regular skin care routine and tied my hair up into a bun. I began to start the shower when I heard my cell ring.

Resting against the bathroom door, I looked down at my phone that was on the nightstand. On the caller ID, Jimin's name appeared. Without hesitation, I spun around and slammed the bathroom door. The water in the shower was warm enough by then. I undressed, placed my clothes into the hamper and stepped inside.

While letting the warm water sprinkle onto my face, I thought about Jimin's unread text and unanswered call. I wondered what he wanted to talk about. But I didn't want to talk to him just yet, especially after the text about me being in a relationship with Zach now. Thinking about it, I'm sure it hurt him in some way. Truthfully, I don't think Jimin is waiting anymore either. It eased me a little to think that.
