The dirty soles of my shoes picked up rocks, sending them flying down the messily paved road and creating shrills of dust swirling around them. My eyes seemed to dilate as I blocked the remaining sun with my hand - clouds ate at the blue sky ferociously overhead, yet couldn't seem to rid the rays of sunlight

I had landed just a few hours ago, the exhausting flight to my hometown was something I never really looked forward to, but it was all that I had. I had been living with a constant gaping hole in my chest, a constant emptiness where my childhood love once was

I could still hear the sound of our sneakers on the pavement as I continued down the street, each gust of wind bringing the smell of baked goods and warmth closer and closer to my body

in the distance stood the worn-down fence, the one we would climb over, my young love and i. my legs tiredly pushed against the metal until I was over, shoes disappearing behind the overgrown grass

Then finally, it was there.

The tree sat so perfectly amongst the empty field, overgrown with vines and flying wildly in the wind. My fingers ran against the bark, the rough wood grain leaving marks against my fingertips and releasing the comforting smell of oak into the air. I felt like a child, the warm rays dancing along my skin as my heart thumped in my ears.

I could feel myself sniffle a bit, tears welling in my eyes as I noticed the remanence of an engraving along the bottom of the tree

KJ + __

my heart ached, memories of the boy vivid in my mind as I find myself tracing over the engraving lightly

I could remember running along the field, Karl's warm laughter filling the air, a childish joy shared between us.

The only true love I had ever felt was from the boy, but before I knew it, he was gone. I was happy for him, that I couldn't deny, but it was no secret that he had left me absolutely heartbroken.

We were just children, playfully in love, but god did it feel like so much more.

the wind began to pick up around me, trees rattling and overgrown grass brushing lightly around my ankles as the sound of someone clearing their throat awoke me from my thoughts
