5 years. His heart shattered every moment since his departure. Or it would've if she didn't hold it for him, not that she knew.
5 years. She waited. But he left. Never hers to hold, to love, to cherish. He was her first love, the first pain.
5 years. They thought that they'd moved on.
Love was never kind. Life was never kind. Both walk hand in hand down a desolate road, picking and dropping off passengers on the way. But Destiny was never far behind.
