The Absence of You

Grayson
Three years ago, my childhood best friend left without a word. Now she’s back and she thinks we can pick up where we left off.
She’s wrong.
I’m not the same boy she left behind.
And it’s all her fault.

I had my reasons for leaving, but he doesn’t want to hear them.
He’s changed.
But so have I.
I came back hoping to find my best friend, but what I found was so much more.
