So, he put his glass down and asked “What did you learn from your last love?” She hesitated, “umm why you’re bringing that up?” “Why not, we need to know get to know each other”. She said as she gulped her throat,

“Never set high hopes with someone. People change with time and we have to accept it. Never assume things, make it clear before you jump into conclusions. And don’t stop growing.” He nodded. She leaned forward, as she played with her glass, “Now…what did you learn?”

“To never love deeply and focus only on your goals.” He finished his wine, “do you need anything more?”

Her heart sank down “no nothing” “Okay” he called the waiter and asked for the bill. She couldn’t grasp what happened that night. “Love deeply?” He hugged her goodbye and left for the night.

She stayed in her house sitting on her bed, teary eyed. “He won’t love deeply? Then what do I do?” She suddenly got anxious as thought to herself, “am I falling into another trap?”

Everything I should have asked my parents, I asked the internet instead. Am I pretty? Are student loans worth the money? What is love? But I couldn't, so I didn't.

hey love,

how are you? i hope you're doing well. i miss you, i honestly really do. i miss the warm hugs you'd always envelop me in when i came back home, i miss the soft kisses you peppered all over my face, i miss your warm small hands that fit cutely into mine, i miss everything. most importantly, i miss you. i'm still in shock, honestly. the guys have tried to talk me out of it but i guess it's just not working. i miss you so badly, i miss your presence. without you, this place honestly seems lifeless.

don't worry about me, i'll try and keep myself busy. i guess. i'll try not to miss you too much.

though you'll never hear this again, i love you x

hey babe,

it's been ages since i've called you that, hasn't it? on a side note, it's the 26th day. wow. can you believe it's been 26 days. i really hope you're doing well i've gotten slightly better in these few days, i suppose. the guys came around a few times, i honestly am so grateful for such people like them. but i guess maybe because i miss you so badly, i still can't get over your absence.

babe, i miss your scent so much. the room doesn't smell like you anymore, and it makes me cry at the thought of your absence even in the room. i miss you so much it's honestly driving me crazy.

it's the 26th day... i honestly wonder how far i'm going to get.

whatever it is, i love you x

i miss you loads honestly, but i guess i need to let go, and let you be free.

honestly, i think you and i know that these 365 days weren't easy. there were many up and downs, but i'm especially grateful to the guys for staying with me all this while and giving me hope. so yeah, thank them when you have time alright? hahaha, just a joke.

whatever it is, these 365 days have not been easy. and though it's been a year, my love for you has not changed. (okay maybe it got stronger? hahaha) just want you to know this'll be the last letter for now? haha i'll write to you when i'm free!

can't write much, gotta go get your favourite scented white roses and your gift now!

love you x

he knelt in front of her, giving her the brightest smile he had ever shown in the past year. he placed the bouquet of scented white roses and the stack of letters down, and in his hand was her gift. "hey babe, got you a little something. hope you love it as much as i do."

he produced a simple yet elegant necklace from the small box, gazed at it softly, before placing it beside the roses and the stack of letters he wrote to her.

he took one last long glance at her, before he got up and left.

Here's the secret Sobering up is a pain That I wish I could pass over Because You see I Write better drunk and I Fuck better drunk Two shots Of something that burns And There's a sway to my hips And A smile on my Lips That I can't find when My mind is Clear I need A hazy perspective And A delightfully dizzy So I forget How much I Hate My life

strangers once again

why can't it seems like

to be able to run from you

please let me escape

just this time

I am tired of you telling me what to do

what to be

what to say

we are already nothing

we are already close to being strangers

we are not us

not anymore
