A Relationship Rewinded

DECEMBER

i hate you!

i hate you!

i hate you!

how could you?

how could you?

how could you?

i cannot believe you!

you promised me!

i have to leave.

i'm going...

NOVEMBER

im nervous

he doesn't look at me the same

he doesn't touch me the same

he hardly replies when i call his name

baby why the sudden change.

OCTOBER

you among the fall leaves was pure beauty

you always were so alluring

you out shined nature

how how how how how do you do this

my friends say i'm crazy

but beauty is in the eye of the beholder

and they've never beheld you like i do

so i understand

SEPTEMBER

when we go out i see the other girls stare

looking straight through me as if i wasn't there

to my knowledge you didn't even seem to notice

but shortly after making this observation i noticed you were on your phone more, more and more interested in your messages than i.

i was being replaced by a cellular device

we went on dates less frequently.

and i blamed it all on myself because i was naive and full of insecurities.

AUGUST

you went on a "trip" to go see your aunt or something you left for about a week you didn't call or text much but me being naive and full of insecurities just summed it down to "well he's with his family"

JULY

oh i'm so in love

he is the best our dates are like disney movie

and he is my prince charming

and he is my knight in shining armor

and he will be my happily ever after

how much more in love could i be!

JUNE

we'd sit on the phone for hours

it got to the point where we talked so much we would just listen to each other breathe

and you're breathing would slow and our heartbeats would drum in sync and still remember the first time when you whispered you love me

MAY

well we have been pretty exclusive for a few months now so we made things official.

APRIL

you are so beautiful he said

i'd give you the world he said

you deserve the moon and the stars he said

i promise i will never hurt you he said

and this i believed because i was naive and full of insecurities

MARCH

i didn't know we lived in the same neighborhood until we actually well used a mouths and spoke to each other. we hung out a lot and my friends became his and his became mine our lives were slowly becoming intertwined

FEBRUARY

after establishing we both suck in chemistry we became study partners and we didn't become masters in the subject itself but there was chemistry if you know what i mean

JANUARY

hi. um. i think you're really pretty and it'd be really cool if you know wanted to text me.
