That Winter Night

EPILOGUE of "That Winter Night"

   Following that winter night, the week after, the pet department was moved to the back of the store, like Thomas said. With that, it predicted that the chapter was over, which I came to find out.
    I moped in the new aisle that day at the end of March, but I knew that it was over deep down.
I got to learning that it was the best decision, especially when I looked at all the key elements of the Thomas I didn't wanna really know. The one I don't wanna date. The one that wasn't good for me. So, I'm glad those memories are in the past.
    Following that day, I saw Thomas one more time. It was April 18th, 2020. He didn't see me, and I got to see him for a split second. He was walking out with Carl.
    When I saw him walking out that day, I felt nothing. No emotions rushed back. No feelings attached. I believe that will be the last day that I ever see Thomas.
    If we ever see each other again, it will never be the same because of that winter night and for the fact that he just blew me off by not doing anything after that. If we talked, I would always question every little thing. Our friendship lost trust. It lost the flame. The spark was blown out with the snow that came down that night.
    Did he still think of me? It was a possibility since he had the opportunity that winter night, but he chose not too. He chose to do something better, apparently. I guarantee that he still thinks about me and "what could have been" with us.
    Not long after that winter night, I started to think about Thomas and me. Before I knew it was over with no call... I knew it was over. I felt it. I didn't wanna give up everything in my life for a boy that I knew wasn't going to be forever or even for a year. So, I gave him up, for that, and for other reasons that became obvious and special to me.
    A week after that day in March, I was granted a new beginning of a chapter with someone I care about. Someone who I have cared about for years. We may not be together officially yet but the livechat, the signs, and the songs made it apparent and certain that a chapter with each other will be beginning before I know it.
    So, why was Thomas brought into the picture? To show me the better side of life and to be ready for change. Change is not always bad, as long as you embrace it and accept it.
I'm hoping that Thomas's life changes for the better. I hope that he finds the right girl and the right bits of life. No more bad habits. Just being happy and finding what's right.
    As for me, I'm heading into a bright new future in the tunnel of light... with you, my love.
