"Most of the couples fall apart after Highschool is over," she said.
"Not us." I smiled.
"How can you be so sure about everything all the time?" She asked.
"Well... Because I know I'm never going to break up!" I said, "And I guess I can trust you enough to know that you're not going anywhere either!"
"I'm just... scared," she said, "I don't know how to live without you anymore... I can't even think about it!"
"And you don't even have to think about it..." I said, "I promise you I'm not going anywhere! You're not getting rid of me easily!" I winked.
Wasn't I confident that we'd never fall apart?
Didn't I promise she'd never get rid of me no matter what!
It's like... One thing happened in the way I hadn't planned it, and I lost my shit!
How many times in the last ten years did I want to go back to her and apologize?
How many times in the last ten years did I want to beg her to forgive me?
How many times in the last ten years did I realize that I never stopped loving her?
How many times in the last ten years did I realize that she was the only one I truly loved and nobody was ever going to be enough?
How many times in the last ten years I convinced myself that I should stop thinking about her because it was 'too late'!
Didn't I always feel I was too 'late'!
One month...
Six months...
One year...
Three years...
Five years...
Seven years...
All those times I felt I was 'very' late to make things right...
And now... It was 'Ten' fucking years!
But hey... It's not 'eleven' years yet!
I was pretty fucking sure I'd be be having regrets next year too!
So maybe let's keep the number at 'Ten'?
Maybe I should give my everything and try every fucking thing to see if I could win her back?
Yeah...
I guess so!
