"I loved that city. I remember the first night we went for a ride on your motorbike. My arms wrapped tightly around your waist as we pass under the streetlights. The cool breeze, the deserted roads, and the speed - we both liked it. You hated waiting on empty crossroads and stoplights, but we promised each other that we were both going to practice to be patient and I argued that that is one way to learn it, but I actually just wanted to prolong my time with you for a few more seconds. Just a few more. That already means a lot to me. It didn't take many midnights spent with you, for us to be able to take each path that lead to the city, so you took me to a different one. I was really happy that night. The ride was long, but you know how much I enjoyed it. All we did there was eat at a Mcdonald's, then we stopped over at a store to buy some Skittles that we ate on the way back. Sometimes we go on trips with your friends. You always loved how I was a ride-or-die kind of girl. We both enjoyed the thrill, but not the recklessness. Not anymore. Once, you made a mistake. All I got was a small bruise on my leg, but you were so mad at yourself that we didn't go on late night trips much after that. I started missing the city. I started missing you. Things happened, and we no longer go on night rides. You started going out alone. The bruise wouldn't have mattered but the pain you caused me after that was more than the bruise itself. I no longer love that city. I loathe it. Every place, every street, I worried that I would see you spending your nights with someone else. It's all filled with I used to, used to, used to... but now it's over and gone. I don't miss that city anymore, but for some reason I still miss you."
