My Childhood Sweetheart

Once upon a time...

She wore a cute blue dress with flowers in her long hair. He wore a black tux with his hair falling on his face. They sat there holding hands as the bride and groom kissed. He wasn't looking at them but at her. Her eyes were on the couple but her heart was away. They were the most beautiful kids one could imagine. They weren't related or anything, they were just friends. Also they were each other's crushes but none of them knew this. They were together since childhood. Nothing could separate them. To him, she was everything a person could be and to her, he was her world. But fate has to keep its balance where there is sunshine, there is a storm too. Soon the happy days were over and his parents had to move away. They were eight at that time. It was the worse that could've happened to them. It was like the world had came to an end. They were clinging to each other. He didn't want to leave but he had to leave. They cried until the end. His parents had to drag him off. When he was gone, she felt lonely and waited for hours near the door expecting him to come but he didn't. No call, no letter, nothing. But she didn't stop waiting...she was sure he would come back some day and with this in her heart, she waited.
