"One word turns into a war, why is it the smallest things that tear us down.

My world's nothing when you're gone, I an here without a shield." - Jordin Sparks, Battlefield

~Hayleigh~

It wasn't meant to be like this. It really wasn't. One day we were okay, playing on the swings, messing around in the sand box, just naturally having a good time fooling around. But it had to be me to mess it up. Why did I open my mouth? Only God knows. Because all I remember is giving him help and making sure he has a life. That was simple. Easy at most. And I couldn't do one simple task.

And that made me cry. Made me feel hurt, betrayal, remorse. Just genuine sadness deep down in that place we call a heart.

I didn't think I had a heart then. It felt heartless to leave him there. But Nate told me to. He said I couldn't hold onto the past.

He didn't understand.

You don't understand. He was my everything. My past. My present. And if this never happened, my future.

And I left him there. Forgot him. He said wait for him. I promised. I lied. I didn't wait. I moved on. Moved from him. Away from him. Made a new life for myself. But forgot all about him and his promise. You know those times where you just feel that no words can describe how you're feeling at that moment? That's how I feel now.

But I don't think you guys understand. I think it'll be best if I started from the beginning.

When he couldn't read the sentence properly,

"The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog."
