Yesterday, you and Alexis graduated from high school. Of course, that leaves an impending doom of leaving for college.

The two of you want to go to different colleges, each of you getting into your dream colleges that are states apart.

And, quite frankly, you knew the relationship wouldn’t last through long distance. Alexis needs physical touch, they thrive off of it in a relationship. Physical touch can’t happen when you’re thousands of miles apart from each other.

Here you are, standing on their doorstep as thunder echos in the sky. You’ve just broken up with them, and they are utterly devastated.

“Weren’t we the stars in heaven? Weren’t we the salt in the sea?” The poetic words that leave their mouth in sobs make it obvious that they don’t understand why the relationship has to end. They love you so much, they can’t let you go.
