The Day I Said Goodbye

Samantha.M.Evans

One day I met this boy.This wonderful, kind, and caring boy. He was so different from me , he wasn't afraid to live, he lived for danger but was always there to back anyone one up. He was a true-hearted gentleman. The gentleman that I had fallen in love with. Though he was 5years older than me, it didn't matter age is just a mere number. The first day I had told him I liked him he peered at me through long golden/blond shaggy hair. Feeling those blue luscious eyes burning into my face I felt as though he really saw me for the first time. He admitted he liked me too but the pressure of parents had stopped us from anything. But at that moment that was all I had hoped for... just something.

. . .
It has been two years since he and I have hung out and each day was coated with my tears of sadness. I had truly loved him. The memories of everyday spent together are burned in my memory and I play them back constantly. I have come to learn recently that he has a girlfriend that he has said I love you too. And that's when I truly broke in two. Ever since then whenever I go to bed the only reason I fall asleep is faith and hope but so far it hasn't been on my side. A week ago I had called him to hear his voice again. Just one last time. "Hey Samantha, its been a while since Ive seen you. How're things at home? Are they still bad? Is anybody threatening you, because you know I'll always be there for you." I smiled at this then very quickly lost it when I had heard,"Hey D_____,whos that? Hang up so you can come be with me. Come on, please, baby?" That had been a girls voice the voice of his girlfriend. I had quickly hung up and cried for hours on end. Since that day I literally haven't been the same. All my friends I have lost because of how I have changed and nobody understands me anymore. So that was the day I had left my house at midnight and traveled to the place where most of my memories with him were. I stood by the tree where he and I used to sit and talk. I threw the rope over and branch and tied a knot and ended my pain. The last thing I said was "I loved you then , I love you now, I'll love you always" as a tear crept down my cheek, my words and soul flew off in the moonlit sky.
