She would never forget him,
his aloofness, his faint smile, the deep affection and helplessness in his eyes.
If everything could start over,
she would still willingly take one step closer to him at a time,
even if it meant having nothing.
And the time he wished for drifted away like smoke,
never quite scattering with the wind,
for he had underestimated the depth of their feelings.
