Breakdowns

Years ago, whenever one of us used to cry on the other's shoulder or suffer a lot. When we could not help but sigh and hug each other just to feel a little bit better and not alone, to think that the NOW would be with you, but here I am NOW, without you! Ironical, isn't it? I got my driver licenses without you, and we used to laugh and make fun of me and of my driving, how it would be and what catastrophe I would make because I fear driving. You used to comfort me and tell me that you will be there to guide me to my path. I remember you telling me about the roads and everything I needed to know related to cars and roads. I also remember us talking in your car about my wedding dress and your costume. If I still have a strong memory, I would say that I still also remember our fingers crossed together and our weekly gifts and chocolates we used to buy for each other. I remember our hugs too, and do you remember our pinky promise? It was our forever.

Too delusional!
