Don't you remember - Adele

Numbness.

Helga, with her hands in her jeans' pockets, walked tiredly through Vine Street. It was an unusual summer day with gray clouds hovering over her head as she walked. As the rain started falling over her, she felt how the tears started to unconsciously leave her deep blue eyes. June 26th. It had been five years since that June 26th when her childhood love left for San Lorenzo. He didn't even say goodbye… he just left, only leaving Geraldo a letter to give me. That idiot. As the years went by, Helga found herself wondering if Arnold remembered her, if he missed her… if he still loves me. After having dated during middle school, everyone from their 4th grade class wondered why Helga never went after Arnold. When they asked, Helga just smiled and enigmatically said: "Because I hope that he can find the missing piece." After two months, they finally dropped the subject and allowed Helga to continue with her grief. And, as years went by, Helga found herself trying to stop thinking about her cornflower god. She dated several guys that became interested in her when she waxed her unibrow into two perfect brows and hid her pink bow under a grey beanie. Unfortunately for her, it never worked. Her life always found a way to trick her into thinking of him.

When will I see you again, Arnold?
