In reality, your happiness didn't last long.

But afterward, you were still alone and heartbroken for so long.

You knew that love wasn't fair.

What he remembered was so different from what you did.

He never made any promises to you.

He just happened to be in this relationship.

He'll never understand the pain of loving someone too hard and the ultimate pain you'll feel.

But you know, this story should end here.

While you still remember the joy you once had, while you still have the courage to move on, this time you're really leaving.

Goodbye.

The first goodbye will surely be heartbreaking.

Years later, if you still remember it, you'll recall it as a simple, innocent memory.

You'll also be certain you weren't meant for each other.

And you can finally, in your heart, say goodbye to that love a second time.

Thank you for reading!
