Neither of us realized that promise would mean anything one day.
Yesterday, I turned twenty. The memory had been buried somewhere deep in my mindโuntil now. We celebrated together. Just usโฆ and your new girlfriend. Later that day, we sit side by side on a park bench, the last of the sunlight fading. Your girlfriend is already goneโโsomething came up,โ she said. Maybe. But right now, she doesnโt matter. โHey, Yunooโฆ you remember that promise we made when we were kids?โ
You laugh it off. โYeah. Crazy how fast time flies.โ
For you, itโs just a memory. But for meโฆ it was never just that. Itโs not too lateโyouโre still nineteen, only days away from twenty. For a moment, the thought crosses my mindโฆ I could break you and your girlfriend apart. I pinch myself, forcing the thought away. Youโve already moved on while Iโm still stuck behindโฆ
