You’re a 24 year old SMU grad that works at a chocolate shop. You totally stole my heart the first time I met you. It’s weird how things seemed to click between us so suddenly, it was immediate and electrifying.
After a month of seeing each other, it seemed as though your mum didn’t want you to see me anymore. It totally devastated me. She accused me of something I didn’t do, and you disappeared completely. I’ve tried to understand what happened and rationalize it in my head, over and over again and I just can’t find any solace or begin to understand why?
If things hadn’t been over before they were even started, I can only imagine how much fun we could have had together.. I really liked you. I know you did too. It would be a shame if I never got to talk to you or see you again. I’m not sure what I did wrong, but I want to make it up to you. You’re.. just a total goddess and I miss your smile.
I miss you…
