Unforgettable
When everything in life loses it's meaning. When everyone you love and trust betrays you. When everyone says no to what you believe in. Most of us would give up. But I am not most of us. I am Jade West and I will fight until the very end.
You might wonder what would an unemployed 26 year old single woman like me might be doing alone in a big city like Manhattan. I've been told countless times that the city is not safe, that I should move to some small town in the middle of Illinois or Michigan. There's nothing wrong with that of course but people don't understand. I feel safe here. I can't just get up and leave. There are way too many memories that tie me to this place.
It's been exactly 2 years 7 months and 12 days since I last saw him. I pretend everyday that I don't think about him. I lie to myself everyday but deep down inside I know that I should have stopped him from leaving. I should have changed. But I would never admit that out loud. I am way too insecure. Besides it's way too late now. He's moved on, has a girlfriend. I bet he doesn't even remember me. Who am I kidding? How can he forget? Those cold winter nights we spent together. Those times when he comforted me when I had nightmares. How he always let me win so that I would be happy. I bet these memories mean nothing to him anymore. For me, well it's a different story. I think about what would have happened if I stopped him from leaving. How my life would be different. All those happy times we had together. And you'd think that after 2 and a half years I'd be over him. Well, you'd be wrong. See, I'm letting you in on a little secret. One only few people know. I will always remember his sweet touch, the way he looked at me, the way he gently kissed my cheek, how he comforted me when I felt alone. These things are unforgettable because I remember everything. And yes, I do mean everything.
