This month reminds me of you because April sounds exactly like your name.
I was 14 and it all started when our eyes met at the same instant. Do you still recall when you said "hi" but i did not respond? It wasn't because you outsmarted me with my favorite subject, mathematics, but because I felt a sudden strange at the pit of my stomach.
You were adored by so many. You were good in academics. You're pretty and you were the campus crush!
I knew from the moment I saw you, I already liked you. But wishing for the stars for you to like me back was just too much to ask because I was just a nobody.
But one afternoon, I received a text from you. I just wanted to scream at the top of my lungs! It was surreal.
We became friends. And it developed into something romantic. We kept reminding ourselves to study hard and be someone our parents could be proud of.
We fell in love but it didn't last. You broke my heart into pieces when I opened and read your breakup letter. I was crying a river for days.
But you were right—we were too young and our relationship won't work.
It's been years but I still couldn't forget you. You're the reason why I'm still afraid to fall in love and get hurt again. But on the other hand, you also gave me the courage to be a better version of myself.
Apryl, we don't talk and see each other anymore. But know that you will always be my first love. I won't be able to forget the memories we shared because the month of April will keep reminding me.
End.
