When a girl breaks up with you, it can sometimes feel like your whole world has disappeared. Nothing is the same as it was a day, a week, even a month ago. Everything has changed, and it is ascary thought that the person you have known for so long is gone for all time.
On that summer night, we sat under the tree and talked for hours. We both cried. I was going off tocollege on the other side of country in a week, and she was finishing her last year of high school. Ithad to happen, but it was the hardest thing I had ever gone through in my seventeen years. Wepromised to keep in touch, but as time passed I never heard from her and never tried to talk to her. It was just too hard, but I still missed her.
That night, as we stood next to the tree, I thought of how things seemed to always happen in thesame way. Here I was again, standing next to a girl and a tree with an open heart. This time, though, I had nothing but the highest hopes for what the future might bring.
