Dear D,

In those first months after meeting you, I became keener if it concerns you. If I just hear your name mentioned in a conversation with my classmates, I would strain my ear to hear about it.

One day, when I was going to the restroom... I saw you talking to a beautiful Chinese teacher. 

I knew you saw me because you briefly glanced at me. I quickly bowed and gave short smile to you.

As I finished doing my business and will go back to the classroom, I still saw you talking with her.

As I was going back to my classroom, in every step I took, my heart was heavy.

I don't know why I feel this impending loss inside of me. From the start, you were not mine, to begin with.

I said in my heart, "Perhaps the thought of you and me is an impossibility."

Since then, I have started to erase you in my heart.

Love,

C
