Dear Chamenos,

You left me. We promised each other forever. We swore on it. You were the only person that I have ever loved. The only person my emotions are worth, and you left. I never wanted to get close to you. I never wanted to love you. I knew you would leave me. Everyone always does. You were the one person who was never supposed to leave me. We were supposed to be forever. We were supposed to make it official, remember? I loved you with every part of me.

I can’t live without you. I loved you. You were the last one left. My mother, my father, my sister, then you. I told you everything. You were MY everything. I can’t go anywhere without seeing you, without hearing your laugh, without thinking of you. You gave me my emotions, I promised you I would never give them up. I guess we both broke our promises. It’s the only way I can get through every day without thinking of you. It’s the only way I can make it through the day without breaking down. I can’t go a single day without thinking to myself. Without speaking greek. It’s the one thing we shared, that no one else knew. It was our way to talk to each other. To trash talk people without them knowing.

Your name means gone. I guess this time you are gone. We would laugh about it, remember? It’s why I made you promise it. You said you would never go. That way we could laugh at your name being a lie. Do you remember, or was that all a lie?

Sygnómi, Epéstrepse

Or

Sorry, come back

From, Clairis Chairis
