As I looked into your eyes, I saw my future go up in flames. Being replaced by something beautiful, something younger me would have wished for; holding my breath and closing my eyes as I dropped the penny into the fountain, grinning as I awaited it to happen. And it did. She would be so happy to see me now.

My future was destined for me to be alone.

But then you showed up and you changed that. The friend I only ever dreamed of having. The friend I would protect with my life, the friend who protected me with hers.

But I was a fool to trust you, for fire burns to reveal things that originally weren’t visible.

As I looked into your eyes I watched my future go up in flames. I clung onto you in corridors, I never let go of your hand, you gave me piggy back rides across the school field and we accidentally kissed. You took over my life, burning my future. Then left me to deal with the burnt remains.

But I guess it’s my fault, I knew this already.

My future was destined for me to be alone, and nothing can burn through fate.
