You know yesterday I was visiting the playground we used to hang out a lot. That place holds so much memories about us. I sat on the swig as I watched small kids screaming and chasing each other around. "I want churros!" A little boy about yelled "No! I want to eat ice cream!" his friend shouted. I watched as the kids argue which one was better option. I chuckled lightly as I remembered my first heartbreak. It happened here. In this same playground and in this exact same swing.

One night when we were hanging around together you sighed: "I finally got a boyfriend". I felt like my heart just shattered to million little pieces. I felt a lump in my throat. I felt like punching something out of frustration. I was naive, because I tough that you wanted us to be more than friends at that time. But I kept it all inside and tried to play it off: "Wow. That's just wonderful. Who is he? How old is he? Where does he work? Does he study something?" "Whoah, whoah. Hold you horses young man". You said laughing like crazy. I looked away, because I was hurt by your words. "Well I mean... We are not official couple because he didn't want to make it official yet. But I think we soon will be". But when you said it you looked like you were kind of bothered by it. "Does it bother you? I mean that you aren't  an official couple yet? How could someone so lucky bastard not want to make it official with you?!?!?" You sneered at my comment but kept looking away from me and stayed quiet for a while. And you didn't even have to answer because I knew it already from the way you said it. I didn't know what to say anymore after that so I got up and started walking away. You didn't follow me so I turned around and grinned at you: "We are going to get some ice cream. Actually, first ice cream and then some churros!" You looked me with confusion. "Oh, come on. First the ice cream for the kind of, heart break. And the churros for the celebration for you and your new boyfriend". Your frown turned soon into a blossoming smile and then to the laugh I adored so much. "Fine by me, but you are paying": you stuck your tongue out. I laughed with you: "Fine by me. As long as you are happy". But deep inside I was dying from the heartbreak.


This place holds more memories than I thought it would. I smiled lightly as the kids run past me. Maybe I should come here some other day. Just to wake some more memories like our first kiss, or how we actually became us.
