Remember Me

London Ynarez

---

I was twenty-two. Fresh out of college, full of dreams, and desperate to see the world. I wanted New York. Europe. The kind of places that would make me lose my way, make me cry, make me feel alive. Maybe I'd stay in New York for a year, maybe three.

I wanted to work three jobs at once, have my own tiny apartment with city lights that never sleep, adopt a dog and complain because I couldn't take care of it.

He wanted to settle down.
I wanted to live.

I asked him to wait. I told him maybe in a year, maybe in two, we could talk about us again. Selfish? Probably. But part of me hoped that when I was finally ready, he'd still be there - still mine.

But he moved on. He found someone else. And someday, he's going to remember me - how much I loved him. And when that happens... I'll hate myself for letting him go.
