I saw him again for the first time today. His hair, not only looked darker, but was much longer, glistening the brightness of the lights up above us in all sorts of directions. I noticed how he reacted to me when I walked in and how the world seemed to stand still as we both noticed each other differences. And then, in that exact moment that the world began to continue to the regular speed of time, I was reminded of everything you put me through. The sadness that seemed to stretch over the first several months of school, the loneliness that I knew we both felt when we made our ways past each other in the halls, and to the moment when I saw you sitting here today, in the office. So I snapped back to reality, stood as tall that my posture would allow, and moved on with my life without you. Knowing that this would be the most boldest statement that I could make to you. And I left you standing there, hopeful that you would finally see that I won't let you be like this to me. And I'll never feel the pain that you allowed me to feel in that last year that I've known you. I'm better off alone.
