It goes like this.
One fine summer's day.
Across the classroom, there you stood.
We grew close.
Days turned into weeks and weeks into months.
Who knew how much you'd mean to me in such a short span of time?
Not a moment went by without laughter and happiness.
For once, everything felt right; natural and as easy as breathing.
Could this be it?
But here comes the plot twist.
Out of the blue, it all stops.
You were no longer there.
Neither there to greet me at the start of a new day nor end my nights with peace and tranquility.
It's been so hard - missing you and what we used to be; hoping that one day, things could go back to the way they were.
But what were we?
You were my universe but I was just your friend; caught up in this grey area that stirs up a storm in my mind.
That's the cue, though.
It's time to say goodbye.

*Silly girl, you know better. You saw it coming. People come and go. The people who matter will leave, and there's nothing you can do to change that. And like all of the boys you've met before, he'll be gone too.

Now, you know that it isn't entirely your fault. It's not that you're flawed. It's not that she's better either. But sometimes, the one you want is never going be the one you get to have. Sometimes, it's just not meant to be.

Be a little kinder to yourself and spare yourself of the thoughts that you're not good enough. A boy does not define your self-worth; him leaving does not make you worth any less. Remember not lose yourself in all this sadness. Because you won't be sad forever. You'll be okay. You are okay.
