Rocket

11

I replayed all my memories. From high school through my head.

Up until I was 23.

That's where they stopped.

That's where I stopped.

I remembered saying yes.

I remembered hugging Joshua.

I remembered crying late at night.

I remembered not wanting to leave.

I remembered me telling Joshua everything.

I remembered Joshua crying.

I remembered our 5 years together. Being full of fun.

A sad fun.

A type of fun we knew would come to a sad end.

I became weaker.

I told Joshua to not be like my father.

I told Joshua to forget me.

I told Joshua to love someone else the way Hansol did.

I was in the hospital.

With Joshua.

Then Hansol came.

I cried more and Joshua left us alone.

Hansol stared at me as I just cried and cried.

I remembered the last words that Hansol spoke.

The last words I heard:

'You promised to build a rocket with me. We were going to fly together.

We were going to fly high, but you gave away your promise to him,

And now you're flying away from both of us."
