she was the first one. when i was confused and scared, i just grabbed her hand and she said it would be okay. we spent that summer together. i wish it was a proper romance. i think about the lake a lot. the trees weren't comfortable and i hated the bugs, but i loved being with her. something changed that day, and i ran away from it. she was hurt and needed comfort. i could never offer her support, even later when other things arose. i kept on failing and i don't think she will ever forgive me. i don't think i'll ever forgive myself. i constantly feel like i'm going to lose her. and i don't think i would survive that. please be considerate enough to at least say goodbye.
