I sneeze as I clean off my dusty box


This box was a proof of my highschool life


Time went so fast, I already have a job.


I slowly open the box, a little nudge and it may fall apart.



A compact disc, huh


'<3'


A heart.. might be my favorite song when I was in highschool.


Luckily I still have my cd player.



Play






I remember this song. The last prom I had in highschool. It's a little static but good enough.



Let's see what else is in the box.


A white rose.. it's not withered since it's a fake one.


I remember how I got this.  After your 'concert', you where throwing a lot of flowers to the crowd and I got this pretty white rose.


I chuckle, I was a stupid young girl. Getting overly excited just cause I caught one.


A penguin stuff toy. It's really cute.


There's a note in the back.


'Hi'


The very first conversation we had.

You gave this to me since you're too shy to say it yourself


Next.. a pick, for a guitar.


I can't help but smile. I remember

This was your pick. I was planning to give it back to you. I just didn't have the time.


Another box? A very small one.


Well, what do you know, it's my favorite necklace.


It still looks pretty good.


I struggle a bit, trying to wear it.



It's beautiful. That's what you said to me after making me wear it. I kinda wished you said 'You're' instead of 'It's'



What's this?




A ring..with leaves and a flower

This was the time you asked me to marry you. Aren't you thinking too fast?
Even tho i said no to your proposal, you made me wear it everyday.


.. I remember




what happened to us.



As I look up, there's a lot of people.


Some of them are dancing


Some of them are just sitting, talking to their partner.


And here I am, sitting alone.


I remember this, it's prom. My last prom in highschool.


It feels realistic.


The music is clearer.


And there I saw you.


Walking towards me.


The same butterflies. The same beat-


You stop infront of me.


Holding out a penguin..


I slowly pull it off your grasp. It's cute.


I noticed something in the back. A note

'Hi'

I chuckle and look up to him.

"Hey"

"Um.. hey"

There's the silence as I play with my fingers.

"You wanna.. dance?" He said as he pull out his hand, waiting for me.

I can feel my cheeks burning up.


"Sure" I carefully put my hand into his.


While walking to the dance floor, I can feel my heartbeat. I was really nervous.


We slowed dance to the song.

As I look into his eyes. Everyone vanish. It's just the two of us here.

I'm lost in his eyes. I can't look away.

It's like we're in the clouds, dancing away.

He smiled, "Oh take me back to the night we met"



He was fading.


Everything goes back.


I'm in my room.


The music was there.. the static.


I slowly kneel down, tears forming up my eyes.


"Take me back"



Why did you leave me?



"Forget about me", he said as he slowly close his eyes.



I remember. I will always remember.
