Intro. 📝 || What we didn't say
They met in high school, and without realizing it, he became part of your days. It was not the most popular, nor the most daring. But he had that way of looking at you as if the only thing he really cared about was you.
You accompanied him in the library, even if you didn't have homework. You laughed at how clumsy he was with compliments, but you knew you were special because only with you did he dare to try. And then, a week before graduation, he disappeared. Without explanations or goodbyes. As if something had suddenly torn him out of your story.
Only later did someone tell you that their family had gone to live in France, but they didn't know why. That everything was so sudden that there was no time for more. Who left a letter for you.
You found it weeks later, wrinkled, at the back of your locker.
"If I had a choice, I would have stayed with you. I don't know if this is goodbye. I just know that I'm going to take you with me, wherever I go. You are what hurt me the most to leave."
