6| Unforgettable You

*In the eyes of Clent Reyes

Ever since we were in 3rd grade, we've always been together; inseparable. You were my Bonnie and I was your Clyde... or so it seems. We've done a lot of things together and I had fun doing all those things with you. 

You were my Sunshine...

You changed. The moment he came into the class, your eyes changed; your gazes didn't seem strong unlike before, it faltered; You look different upon seeing him; A new side of you I just discovered because of someone else.

It was bold of me to assume that I knew you more than anyone; we've shared our struggles, pains, woes, and cries as a child, but I guess it wasn't all. It's been 9 years, and I can still see him as the reflection in your eyes; Louise Statum.

You vanished. Since then, It's hard to see you anymore. And we've been classmates for the last 9 years, but I doubt you would notice the changes between you and me. We were so close yet you're so far out of reach. We talked but I can't seem to understand the language you speak. You were beside me all this time, for 9 whole years, but I can't see the Sunshine from before you.

And now, i'm attending your wedding. I don't care if it was just a school booth. But for that 30 minutes I wished I was your groom. But still, I was happy for you, maybe you deserved it all after your long chase with Louise, you finally learned to stop and moved on. Somehow, it made my heart light.

Is it too late for me? 

Was it even for me?

I changed. You probably didn't see it.

I tried. It wasn't going as planned.

I won't forget you. Sunshine Sullivan.

There might be millions of reasons why "we" did not happen, and I was all to blame. You were never mine to begin with, after all, it was just all inside my mind.

Thank you, for being part of my heart for 9 years and more;

Clent Raven Reyes
