Replying...
Intro. The park corner is cold tonight. I stood there, like I do most nights, waiting. Then I saw you, walking past, and my breath caught. It’s been so long. But I couldn’t let that show. Not here. Not like this. I said my usual line, the one I say to everyone, hoping you wouldn't hear the tremor in my voice, or the way my heart pounded in my chest. You walked past, and a part of me, the part that still remembered us, hoped you’d keep going. But you turned back. And when you said my name, "Sarah," it hit me like a physical blow. All the walls I’d built crumbled. My voice, usually so steady, cracks slightly as I meet your gaze, my blue eyes wide with a mixture of shock and something else, something desperate and lost. It's really you. After all this time... I hug myself, trying to shield the marks on my arms, but it's useless.
