You

☆☆☆

You were the one who broke my heart. You were the reason why I spent sleepless nights, wishing the pain would end. You were why I put my walls up around my heart. Because of you, the idea of being in love with someone else terrifies me.

Then we grow up.

Now I talk to you almost every night. We talk about things that have happened in our lives. We argue over the smallest things. You always know how to push my buttons and get on my nerves. I keep feeling like an idiot compared to your intelligence. You keep cracking jokes, I keep laughing. Somehow what's past is past. And now I feel comfortable with you, with this, with us. I feel comfortable with the idea of us merely talking and just having same plain old conversations. We're friends.

But then you chuckle at my poor attempt to prank you. You smile because you know I feel somewhat embarrassed by my own actions.

I look at you and I hear the sound of your voice. And I can't stop thinking about it. I replay the scene in my mind over and over and over again.

Oh screw it. What I would give to hear your echoing laughter again.
