I pretended I didn't remember anything.

I thought maybe things wouldn't change, everything would stay the same.

But they did change.

You looked at me differently, treated me differently.

You closed yourself off, you took a step back from me.

I don't know if you thought you were helping me, but you just made the ache in the left side of my chest.

So I decided to take the job.

I never told you about the offer. The day we left I wrote you a letter, I was going to give it to you before I left.

I never did.

That night when I went to the airport I decided to end all contact with not just you but my past.

I was going to be a new person.

A new Mari.
