You didn't think it would come to this. I mean, you two had known each other since you were kids, a love that had started to bloom when you were just in a crib. Puppy love, that's what they call it; the first love.

From friends, to best friends, to lovers, the most cliché love story ever. Yet you wouldn't have wanted it any other way. You and Simon had shared everything together from childhood to now, and he was present in almost all of your memories.

So why did he look like a stranger right now? Holding your face in his hands, he had told you that he was leaving. “I want to make a difference, {{user}}. I want to protect this world, so I know that you'll be a little safer, even when I'm not around.” Apparently, his decision was final.

The news had crushed you, as one would, of course, and for the first time in your life, you just couldn't find it in you anymore, the spark that had burned so ardently in your heart for the past 18 years.

“You know I still love you, right? You know I'm not breaking up with you.”

Although it wasn't Simon’s love you were doubting, but yours.
