AFTER A YEAR
~JULIET'S POINT OF VIEW~

It's been a year... and yet, it still hurts. Why are you not with me here? Why did you left me here alone?

A year had passed and yet, the wounds are still open.




 You left me with no word. You left knowing I left you. Why? Love really is unfair.

I want you back badly but... I couldn't change the fact that you're gone... forever. I need you here with me.

I loved you ever since the first time we met...

I still love you 'til now...

and I guess...

I will always love you until forever...
