Short and sweet, but bitter to eat, is what she said about my graphs in the third grade, sitting together as we usually did.

A beat or two, my heart skipped when I saw her beautiful hair fall in the wind during our last recess as kids. 

New school, bigger kids, I think I saw that kid growl, at least she was by my side for most of it, well to fourth period i go. 

The seperatation and time, was what hurt the most; loved seeing her smile even if it's not with me anymore. 

Another chapter, another start hopefully this one is different and it'll be with her because even after all these years, she still has my heart. 

High school is nothing like the movies, dont't be fooled, however, it isn't so bad now since she is smiling with me now. 

Who ever said junior year was the hardest year, count their days because senior year is so stressful only good thing is having her by my side stressing with her.

Today is the day, her birthday, the one I've been waiting on for 5 months now, it's finally the day I ask her out. 

Time after time i think about that moment and how everything went wrong, however, to my surprise one thing did go right since she's my girlfriend now.

We laugh, we lie, but we love, and it's that love that helped us stay together. 

Graduation, what long journey it's been, happy to have known everyone and graduate with my favorite person is the biggest reward of all.

The future was inevitable, I knew I would have to say goodbye to you some day, didn't think it would be forever. 

I still love you and I'll love you forever, even if I'm now 24, and you're still 19.

This story is about a childhood friends to lovers trope however it didn't have a happy ending. My characters didn't have names because I felt like people can relate to this story so they can assign the names to themselves. However, if I had to have names, they would be Diana and Chris. This story is based on my situation with a childhood friend i had named Christian but Chris for short. I thought we would have a childhood friends to lovers situation and we sort of did, until we broke up in middle school and never spoke again. Until we reconnected a year later over Intagram to then stop talking again. It never stopped me from hoping that we may come together again, until 2 years later when I found out he had passed away. That completely chnaged my life, in bad ways but also good ways. I was devasted for a long long time until i came to accept my grief and it showed me a different side to his passing. It felt like he always with me and my connectation with him grew even stronger. I'm now 18 years old and a senior in high school ready to graduate and he's still 17 years old but i'll forever love him no matter how old i get. And he's helped me grow into the person i am now even if he's not here to see it.
