I always thought it was unfair that they never mentioned her again.
As the days go by
It was our first date. We went over to the most beautiful fountain in Ba Sing Sae. He kissed me, or did I kiss him? Huh I don't know… maybe it just happened. It was our first and last date. I never saw him again, not at the Jasmine Dragon, or the market, or anywhere. It was like he'd disappeared. That was the story of our short lived love. I was younger then. So was he. We were both just kids. I never saw anyone that way again, even though they say teenagers can only fall in puppy-love. Sometimes I would lie in my bed at night and think of him, and wonder if he ever thinks of me, wherever he was. Now I know where he is. I'm staring right at his face but he doesn't see me in the crowd. There's a pretty girl next to him. She has ink black hair and pale skin, with eyes so brown they're black. And I know that's who he chose. He chose her and left me behind. Why her? Why didn't he come back for me? I'm just as good, maybe even better. Would it have killed him to at least tell me? Maybe send a messenger hawk my way, after his coronation, or maybe will he was on the road. Why did he forget me?
