I never thought I'd see him again.

But there he is, casually standing with his hands on his pocket, looking cool as ever.

I don't know what to do. I'm torn between kissing him or decking his sorry-ass. He didn't see me yet, as he is busy typing in his phone.
524Please respect copyright.PENANAZnLrpPhitc
Why?
524Please respect copyright.PENANAdLqf9qjlNW
That's... that's the only question that I want to ask-- and be given a straight answer.
524Please respect copyright.PENANA3ceMzlWfuu
Why did you leave without saying goodbye?
524Please respect copyright.PENANAbTHuo3TuNF
I would never stop him from chasing his dreams; in fact, I support him in it. But what disappointed me was... he didn't even say goodbye. I was mentally screaming at him, mentally hitting him again and again and again.

When he left about a year ago, I was left devastated-- a wreck. We're okay, in fact we are perfect. I could still remember the way he held me in his arms... the way he look at me with so much adoration. And... and suddenly I was told that this bastard just left?

I may not be a mind reader, but I know in your deeds that you love me.

Or so I thought. As I watch him from afar, I couldn't help but notice how much he's changed. His blonde hair was much longer than I remembered, and it seems like he's spending most of his time at the gym. His eyes, too. Even though it's mesmerizing as usual, you still would notice the different spark it has.

I almost took a step towards him. Almost. But stopped as I saw a girl running, running towards him and launched herself to him, and they kissed.
524Please respect copyright.PENANA54VDlKGX1d
A stubborn tear fell down.
524Please respect copyright.PENANAkaNcmeWJLv
Maybe she's the reason for that spark?

People. People milling around, pushing and bumping against me, seeing that it is a busier day in the airport. But I couldn't feel them. What I could feel was... my heart on the verge falling, breaking and shattering into million pieces.
524Please respect copyright.PENANAkfhRlaHR53
They... they look so happy. A picture of a perfect couple. So happy. So in-love.
524Please respect copyright.PENANARhLNe1eFua
Maybe... maybe I should stop this illusion. Why did I even bother coming here? Why did I even bother asking his whereabouts?
524Please respect copyright.PENANAyICOrPnVMm
I woke up. I woke up finally.
524Please respect copyright.PENANAkAUSqJWTr5
I took a step backwards, my eyes still on them-- on him. I must look desperate, pathethic, huh? Still waiting for a guy who clearly doesn't care anymore, who has already moved on. Maybe... I expected too much.
524Please respect copyright.PENANALC2Rf75PGZ
"Bitch, get moving!" I vaguely heard the person.
524Please respect copyright.PENANATA1OZr5UNI
I feel like my heart was literally breaking, I have a strong urge to grasp, to clasp it so as to stop it from breaking even more. I'm surprised that only that tear leaked. I couldn't cry.
524Please respect copyright.PENANA00GbWg5EUC
You know what's even more surprising?
524Please respect copyright.PENANAhxR4ruckPS
Our eyes met.
524Please respect copyright.PENANAZIr0qYeqgQ
And my damn heart skipped a bit-- no, it leaped from my chest. A leap like it will be the last time beating before it finally stops. Maybe it is.

You could see the shock registering in his eyes, and he stood frozen as the girl kept talking to him. His lips dropped slightly as he drank me in. Something else changed in his eyes; he seemed overjoyed upon seeing me. Or maybe I'm just overlooking things.

I smiled a broken smile at him. One last smile. There, there is the riot of tears threatening to come out that I expected. I watched his mouth move as he uttered my name. But I didn't get to see what he did next.
524Please respect copyright.PENANA2buWi4YgXl
I turned around and walked away, away from him. Out of his life.
524Please respect copyright.PENANAEi68XAuxCk
"Wait!" His voice is much deeper than before, and as I walked I couldn't help but close my eyes, relishing his voice as he shouted my name. "WAIT!" He shouted my name again, pure desperation dripping from his voice.

But I didn't stop, didn't wait. I waited way too much-- a year to be exact. I continued widening our distance, and I was thankful for the busy airport day. I could still hear him shouting, shouting for me to stop, and the occasional curses from the crowd. But I continued my way out. I didn't even turn around.
524Please respect copyright.PENANA93xnsFwL5X
"WAIT!"
524Please respect copyright.PENANASXyVUosWFG
Strangers.
524Please respect copyright.PENANA8Va3aER4xy
That's what we are now.
