it was a good 10 years with you. please make the next last till forever.

and i'll be here waiting for you to tell me all that happened.

you and i had our differences. but i never imagined it'd end up like this. even if we've known each other since we were 10. it still came to this.

when the night of your 20th birthday came, and as you were about to walk out the door, you looked back at me; a smile tints across your face and a tear sheds, landing onto the the hardwood floor.

that was your final goodbye.

i felt like i needed to run after you, yet i felt so betrayed, so weakened. why did you leave me behind with all this guilt? all the sadness? and all the anger?

i knew it was something different. that i was merely just another person to you, not someone special. you always seemed to look at me with disgust plastered onto your face. you hated how i look like. you hated how i never did anything to stand out from the crowd. i blended in, one with the people around me. you didn't like that though, you wanted the attention. you wanted to feel the love that i never gave you. but trust me, i did. or atleast, i tried. i used to beat myself up just to satisfy you and your needs. to make you the happiest person in the world, yet my heart broke when you said you didn't feel any of it.

but once again, i knew you felt it, too.

i was walking around the campus and i saw you; you were with your new group of friends. people who you actually have a bond with. i knew you were happier because your smile was just... different.

and then, we had eye contact. i expected you to look away, grunt and tell your friends how bad of a person i am— but, you didn't. we kept looking at each other until the girl next to you nudges your elbow, "what are you looking at?" she asks, looking at my direction. that's where you shake your head and said nothing, "i thought i saw someone i know." she shrugs it off, not pushing the question any further.

your friends start having a world of their own as you look back at me.

"thank you." you mouthed, a sly grin on your face as your cheeks perk up and your nose scrunches. i just glanced at you and gave you a thumbs up.

"hey," i looked down to my right and saw a ten-year-old girl tugging my shirt, "how is she?"

i crouched so i can be on her eye level, tucking her hair behind her right ear, "she's doing well, now. everything's great."

"do you think she still remembers me?" she asked with a pout.

"of course she does! why would she forget?"

"because i saw how she hated you and how bad she made you feel. there was even a point i thought she completely forgot who you were."

i shook my head at the little girl. her nose scrunches up similar to mine, "come on, you know her. she gets mad—everyone does at times. but look at her," i lifted the girl in my arms as i pointed at you across the school grounds, "she's happier now. she learned."

"will she ever come back to us?"

i slowly placed the girl back down on the ground and held her hand, "she will, when the time comes-"

"-but for now, we stay here."

"and wait?" she questioned eventhough she knew the answer.

i smiled at her and stood up. inhaling the fresh air and exhaling it out.

"yes, we'll wait."
