english,
Next thing I knew, his hand was slowly leaving mine, leaving it cold and empty. I stared back at his beautiful eyes, and I already knew what was coming.
After a few agonizing minutes of silence, he started to talk. But his words were all slurred to me. I looked away in an instant, refusing to absorb his tortuous good-bye. I heard the rustling leaves as he waited for me to speak, looking at me like I was dying on a hospital bed. I swallowed the lump building up in my throat as I tried to compose myself. I opened my mouth but nothing came out, repeating the same thing thrice, looking like a gaping fish in the process. Giving up on talking back, I faked a smile as if nothing had happened and walked away gracefully, leaving him with nothing.
As I walked along the empty pavement, tears fell down my cheeks, tears I’ve been thwarting the whole time he was talking. I plopped down to the ground, hugging my knees trying to keep myself whole and everything in me attached. The agony filled me and my whole body became numb. I never imagined feeling so vulnerable until now.
Everything we’ve been through in that short while and every moment I thought would last were thrown away just like that. He was my first and I gave everything. His eyes told me I meant the world to him. I was the reason for his heart-melting smiles. Then he left unexpectedly and I ended up with nothing. How could he just forget everything we shared together when it was already etched in me?
I wonder how this marvelous boy’s good-bye can hurt me like I was skinned alive.

He suddenly stopped and stared at my questioning eyes, confused by the abrupt halt. Everything was perfect and the weather was fine, but why did I see pain in his eyes?Next thing I knew, his hand was slowly leaving mine, leaving it cold and empty.
