The Days I Remembered

Prologue: December 9, 2012

It was our second wedding anniversary. We spent the day reminiscing memories and staring at our pictures since our elementary days up to the recent pictures. And since she forced me to tell stories about my friends, I filled up the blanks for her. I answered her questions and laughed at my blunt way of story-telling.

We moved on to the other pictures, and finally, we stared at our wedding picture. There I saw a girl. She was staring straight at me – at the camera, rather—and was brightly smiling. Smiling as if there wasn't a flash of melancholy in her eyes. Smiling as if it was her greatest day. Smiling as if we didn't share a past. Smiling as if she weren't my ex.
