"My heroine this time around is called October.
We went to High School together and we were in love. At least that's what we told each other and anyone that would listen. She had dark red hair if I remember correctly and would dress mostly in black, as if that would keep the dark spirits that circled her at bay.
I lied to her when the flame had burned out.
I avoided her when her love for me became too much.
Then, I left the private school to go to a public one. I changed without realizing and I stuck to that person that I had become. She tried, she really did, to bring back the person she knew best. But she never could, and so we saw each other occasionally, kissing under a beach hut in the rain, while our respective girlfriends and boyfriends were clueless. That became a different type of love and we never told anyone any more.
She left the country after she finished High School. And I didn't see her again. Until two nights ago.."
