You changed.
You changed like seasons, like television channels, like the pages of a book that you can’t put down.
You’re no longer who I met that April night. You don’t have the same innocence and the same mysteriousness that led me to you. That kept me coming back to you.
You’re different now. You started acting like everyone else instead of yourself. How senseless of you. How dare you destroy the person I fell in love with and replace it with someone I never even met.
