It doesn't take much for me to remember you. You'd think by now I would have gotten over you, forgotten you, moved on from you. I believed so, until I passed by the swings where we first met, at the young age of 5, just silently swinging besides each other, too shy to speak, too curious not to look at each other, our little feet pushing the ground and sending us towards the sky and into each other's hearts.

Until I pass by the parking lot, where at 18, you told me you couldn't handle me anymore, you couldn't take anymore of my whining and my crying, that you had enough of my anxiety and my "depression", where you told me you couldn't keep up with my drama and the mood swings, where you finally realized that you couldn't after all mend the broken girl, and made me realize that I was in fact truly alone. Once again I had driven away someone who tried.
