There was a quote I found under my pillow. It's written at the back of a receipt and it said, "Love is eternal." I stared at it for long. What I felt towards Jace was not permanent; I knew that. Somewhat, it would be gone. I knew that it was real, though. I didn't love him or for some, maybe it was just a simple infatuation, but it was real. No matter what degree of love was it.

         Summer had gone so fast that it's almost the start of another school year. I was happy with the experienec that I had. Jace was not just some guy I met over the summer. It was more than that. Maybe I wouldn't see him again, but he's always there within my heart.

         From afar, I knew he's happy. And maybe he was seeing me now. We would never know the happenings after death. I just knew that, after all those pain, there's happiness and contentment after.

           And from afar, all I had were dreams about him.

The End.
