That's what I am.
Nobody knows it.
I wasn't always this way.
I used to be innocent.
I used to be care free.
I was so young then.
I fell like I have experienced my entire life.
Like I'm not a stupid teenager anymore.
Maybe I haven't realized that there are decades to explore ahead of me.
But, I will never get this time back.
I will never be able to reverse my decision.
I did it.
That night.
I was so young.
I knew I was.
We both were.
I haven't seen him since.
And I don't blame him.
