Recuerdas

The look in his eyes when he told you he would always belong to you. What love. What responsibility. Caressed by the knowledge that you could hold a heart, you felt confident enough to let it go. Now here he is again: Egaro. Sweet brown eyes, soft blond hair. Accent filling your mind like a forgotten memory. Smelling like sandalwood and fire. You share a smile. He is with someone new. Someone who looks almost like you. Black, curly hair. Long, inviting lashes. Blue jeans hugging his hips. White shirt. He’s more stylish than you thought Egaro preferred. But they seem happy. And you are too. Content that your love could let him go. Because you knew that you did not belong together. Perhaps this someone new can give him everything. God knows you never could.
