All Of Me

Charlie and Van were best friends.
They were inseparable.
Two seven year olds sneaking out their houses to meet up at the park at night.
Laughing with each other, telling stories at one's lap, secrets shared under the moonlight, and just gazing at the stars.
Until that faithful night Charlie didn't show up.
And the next night too.
He waited and waited for her in the park, hoping she will arrive with the smile he was desperately wanting to see.
Soon nights turned to weeks, weeks turned to months.
And eventually months turned to years.
With an empty heart, he gave up.
The question that always hunted his dreams, his mind

Why?
