She never told him how she really felt. She never knew how to express her emotions into words. People called them the perfect two, and no one expected him to run away. Of course, he got scared of commitment, and left her. She cried for almost 1 year straight. Then he came back. She couldn’t believe it. He was back. And this time he was ready, or so he said, to settle down. Of course, to him, this meant to talk for about a month, and then leave again.
            During that 1 year she had changed. A lot. No one really knew what was different, but there was certainly something that had changed. Anyone could tell her looks were different. Her long brown hair was soon all chopped off. That was his favorite thing about her. So she had to get rid of it.
            Next thing to change was her personality. She grew to block out everyone and tend to herself and herself only. The only person she wanted to talk to was him, but he was gone. No one exactly knew WHY he left, but they all knew he wasn’t coming back. Or so they thought.
            But he did come back. And with a grand entrance too... He stole her heart away with his voice, and locked it up. She knew not to trust him, but what was she supposed to do? He was the only one she could pour her heart out to, and tell everything to. Sure, she had he best friend, but that just wasn’t enough.
            In time, her days were a routine. Wake up, text him, go to school, and text him until she fell asleep. She had given up everything for him. A friendship, a boyfriend, and much more. She didn’t care who she was around him, because she thought he loved her.
            But what it love? Can anyone answer that? No. No one can explain love. We use this word and take it for granted. We only say it to get what we want. Including him. He said it to get what he wanted, and he almost got it, but he didn’t. She finally figured him out. He wasn’t in love with her… she was in love with him.
            She was a fool for love, and he ripped her right in half. But he left. And he took her heart, but she is slowly getting it back. She I overcoming her battles with him, and learning to let him go … just like he let her go.
That girl is me.
That boy is Jake Taylor.
I am letting you go, Goodbye, forever.
