I found a piece of you sitting on the lunch seat next to mine where you used to sit. Seeing it sitting there reminded me of all the times you sat there and we did nothing but laugh our faces off. It reminded me of how you promised that nothing would change while we were "taking a break". It reminded me of all the times you lied to me. It didn't really do much except sit there and watch me. It made me uncomfortable and sad because every time I looked at it, all I saw was you. I tried to crush it a few times with my foot, but every time I lifted my foot up it just sprung back up like a spring. I guess it was going to stay there and constantly remind me of you. It didn't look like it was going to go anywhere so I left it alone after that day. It reminded me of you every day. Every day it was there sitting in the seat you sat in, sometimes it felt as though you were still there, but then I would look over and I remembered that you're not sitting there anymore, and you left a small painful reminder behind when you left.
