“I know it’s hard,” he says. “She was a cool girl and you two were good together, but she was upfront with you about what she wanted. You can’t be upset with her about leaving. She always told you she would.”
“I know,” I whisper. “I know, you’re right. Still… this really sucks.”
“Yeah,” Tyler sighs. “I know.”
He pats my shoulder again and then walks away, leaving me alone with my disappointment and heartbreak. I wish she’d given me a chance. I could’ve proven just how good we could be together.
It’s too late, though. She’s gone, and I’m never going to see her again. Our week together was just a fling, but I know with a certainty that I’ll never forget my time with Lynn, or all the incredible things she made me feel.
Without a last name or contact info, I have nothing to grasp onto. My memories of her will have to be enough. I have to continue on with my life and make peace with the fact that I’ll never see her again.
It’s a sad thought, but I wouldn’t take back his week for anything. Lynn was incredible and I had more fun with her than I thought possible. I’ll cherish the memories we made together, and as much as I wish we could have had more time together, I’m grateful for the time we did have. Lynn will always have a place in my thoughts, and in my heart.
