It was always you and me, me and you. The two of us, together, always. Always racing each other with the wind in our hair, burning our faces with frigid heat. Laughing afterwards over who whomped whom while drinking cheap wine. There was never any doubt in my mind that we'd always be together. But after that last race, you left me alone to fight whatever feelings were pounding in my chest. Even now I want to scream for you until my throat is raw.

Maybe this is the feeling you warned me about.
