We Fought Over the TV…

It was always just the two of us…
We used to go to the festival every summer…
Always…together…
You smiling beside me…wearing the same yukata…
But one year we stopped going…a boy picked you up… I knew you liked that boy
I used to stand by the door watching you…
The teddy bear you gave me that one day… I still have it. I’ve been taking good care of it.
The darkness of the night is scary…it makes me more aware of how lonely I am…”Key Features
