DAY 52

MEMORY LANE: MY RUNAWAY LOVE

I woke up this morning and I could not get her off my mind, probably because of our previous night chat session.

I finally decided to tell her the last day of primary school, but I guess you know there was no pick up line, there was never an approach, instead I just kept trailing her from one end to the other end of the school, I never got to say good bye to her.

The letter read:
