Flawed Hearts

Alex Jacobson is all that I could ever want and need.
My best friend since we were twelve years old.
He was my first love, even when I didn't know it.
My first heartbreak, but we said it was forever.
Until he disappeared. When I was eighteen.
Without a trace, nothing.
Five years on and I still haven't heard anything, until now.
He's back in town.
The moment I was waiting for, though the man I see is slightly different. Deadly but so incredibly beautiful.
Oh, and also, he doesn't remember me.
He stares at me with blank eyes, a void of emptiness.
As if I was a stranger.
As if he has never seen me before.
Nothing.
And my heart slowly cracks.
I remember all too well what I had experienced... I didn't want to go through it again
So I let him believe that I don't know him either.
But all secrets can't go on forever....
Eventually, he'll find out.
But I just don't know if I'm ready for it.
