Someone who looks just like you is slinging drinks behind the bar. Leaving would be easier than waiting to see if you remember me.
If it’s even really you.
Once, I’d known every tattoo, but the rose on your shoulder is new. Or maybe not; it’s been years. And I don’t think it’s you.
Leaving really would be easier.
You asked me long ago, Would it break your heart if in twenty years we didn’t know each other?
I said no, because I’d still believed only boys could break my heart.
I hope it’s you. I’ll tell you I was wrong.
Great story, really enjoyed it
Good story, with echoes of the country song ‘Starting Over Again’ by the Desert Rose Band.
Lovely storytelling!
What a punch! I can’t imagine anyone saying no to a question like that, and the relationship surviving!
Wow! Very well written, it made me as heartbroken as the narrator. Great job!

We sometimes do not know until much later. Such a poignant story of friendship, love and loss.
