Translation of the storye behind:
“One of the last messages I got from her about a month after she went to college and our relationship broke up. We tried to stay friends, but that didn’t work. A week earlier she had told me that her first thoughts in the morning were my kisses. Then every night she thought about coming to my house, the next thing was that she banished me from her life as cold as ice. It still hurts how easy it was for her, someone I really loved to do this, but I’m slowly getting better. But I still miss talking to her about the little things. “
