A Memory in the Past

The Night You Said Goodbye

          This phrase just kept flashing in my mind while I was trying to think of a new post.As I was contemplating about these words, random thoughts came to me and a story was formed in my mind.

A SHORT STORY

          We were 15 at that time, we were in love, I was star struck by you, and you were with me. I never thought I could feel those kinds of feelings with you, so raw, yet very innocent.

          We wished, this will last. We did not want it to end. Our relationship was what I thought a “FOREVER”. You asked me out after class every time. We hanged out. You held my hands and I held yours. We talked about things under the sun, talked all night long. Even my father was angry every time we had our night- long conversations on the phone.

          But when one night came, I did not know what I had said or had done wrong. I thought what we had was love. You never showed me bad, and I, also, did not do nor show you anything wrong. You texted me. You said you wanted your singlehood back. Was I choking you? I don’t know. I knew in myself that I didn’t.

          With those words, you cut me deep. I thought we had something going. I hoped then you crushed it. I cried my heart out, nothing can ever compare to the hurt that I felt with those words. I was crushed but I told myself maybe you needed space, so I gave you that. You needed time, so I gave you that also. I respected you. Even though you hurt me, I let you go.

          Now, I have moved on, but you should remember, we had something and one night you threw all the memories away. You were once loved…
