We didn't talk for two years.

You reached out at first, but eventually stopped after you never received any replies.

I thought of contacting you after I heard she was remarrying someone new, but I figured, it would just salt the wound.

When I finally came back, I wasn't planning on making contact, and according to mutual friends, neither were you.

But we ran into each other at that park where we used to go when ditching school.

You looked different and so did I.

I had shorter hair and my face no longer looked like an adolescent.

I was a beautiful woman.

But you looked aged, eyes worn and hair with specks of grey.

We just stood looking at each other for a minute, then you hugged me.

I wasn't expecting it, I don't even know if you expected it or if your body just reacted.

But I definitely wasn't expecting the shivers that crawled from my arms to the tips of my toes when our skin touched.

Then you whispered in my ear three words I've always wanted to hear:

"I missed you."
