I love you three simple words I wish I said it sooner I walk to school that day and everything seemed normal until I noticed you weren't there, I didn't think much of it at the time,just that that was unusual for you.On the way back from school I pass your house and I hear a wail coming from inside,probably your mom.I walk up to your door to see what's wrong and before I knock I hear crying from inside. Your dad answered the door,looking shocked to see me right now. He just engulfs me in a suffocating hug as we sob because It dawns on me that you're gone,not temporarily, but truly,irrevocably gone. I always new it was bad,but this is worse than I could have imagined. I go up to your room and look through your stuff.I sit there,as silent tears drip down my face.In your closet on the floor I find a box titled "memories". I silently look through the box and find family pictures,an old movie theater ticket,and other things. At the bottom of the box I find the class picture from last year,with annotations you made on it, pointing out your friends,your enemies,and me. I'm circled by tiny hearts, and a note pointing towards me says "one day..." I realize at that moment the one thing I've been too scared to say........ three words eight letters I love you
