"Just talk to me through the moon and and I promise I'll be back" is what you said before you left.

And being the idiot I was...

I did.

I

used to plug in my headphones and listen to faded by Alan Walker and look at my window. The moon always shone through and I'd look at it for what seems like hours until I fell asleep.

I used to imagine like in the movies where the girl looks out the window and stares at the window, already knowing that her true love could be staring at the moon too

I would look out the window and for hours just listen to Faded the song taking the words right out if my mouth...

Where are you now
I'm faded

Cause even though this was all in my head...it just felt so real...too real. My darling Hunter I love you is what I'd whisper, which of course was pathetic.

Like who whispers at the lion and thinks they're childhood crush coups hear them?

But boy did life change everything

Sixteen year old Hunter Carter dies in car crash

I still have the newspaper from that..

My heart skipped a beat...

And then...

I laughed....

I laughed bitterly at how stupid I was for thinking that you were the guy that have just died in the car crash

I laughed bitterly for thinking that the Hunter Carter that died in a car crash....

Was you...

Which wasn't right?...

Right?...

I went to bed  and looked up at the familiar dark sky, filled with stars....

But there was no moon.

I waited...

And waited...


A

nd waited....

But there was no moon....

The whole night I stayed up listening to faded on repeat but the moon never came....

Nights after nights I  would stay up looking out at the sky and again....

It was empty...no moon

3 weeks later..

I cried bitterly.....

Hunter was gone....

You were gone...


I

waited for you Hunter, you promised you'd come back.....

You promised!!..

But like the moon.....


You never came back..
