I never forgot about them.

In the early 90s I fell in love with someone. I used to be a lot less guarded and more open back then. I was different than I am now. Unfortunately as years went by they could no longer hide their drug addiction and it killed our relationship. I did pay for their rehab. It hit me very hard when our relationship ended. I shut down and put the fence over myself up. I became less of who I really was and became something else.

We still talk to one another from time to time. I still consider them a friend. Deep down I have always still loved them. It comes out all the time whether I was aware of it or not. They slip out in my writing. I still light up when talking about them. My eyes cannot lie.
