It has been four years, seven months, one week and three days since the day you decided to left me but time seemed to pass by slower than the normal routine. Time wanted to punish me more for slowing its pace. It has been a long time ever since the day I decided to leave everything behind but never once in my every day life did I manage to forget you.
I was a state away from you but still you managed to haunt me even in daylights. I tried to enter into a relationship thinking I was prepared, that I had been able to moved on but no. I was once fooled for thinking I deserved you, for thinking I deserved someone.
I was standing on the bookstore reading my newly published book. You might be wondering, I am an author living in New York. I also worked as a freelance model and a painter. I worked hard and consumed my time for the things I wanted to do just to divert my mind so that I won't be able to think of you.
A little girl approached me and tugged the hem of my shirt. I looked down and threw her a smile. She was adorable and she resembles you so much with those baby blue eyes and dark brown locks. She asked me if I can sign her cute Barbie notebook convincing me using the trick of her puppy dog eyes. I smiled even wider and nodded my head yes.
After I signed her notebook, she motioned me to get down and so I did. I was shocked when she kissed my cheeks and hugged me tightly and said 'I love you. You are my favorite author. Thank you so much.' After that she ran to her mother and I was left dumbfounded.
'I love you' ... she said.
Sounds foreign to me.
