At sixteen, I gave him my heart.

Five years after, he's back. And he's meeting his daughter for the first time.

I still hate him. Even if my heart says that's a lie.

*

At ten years old, she changed my life.

At sixteen, I told her I loved her.

Three years after, I left and broke her heart.

Five years later, I'm coming back home to the surprise of my life.

I hate her for it. Even though my brain says this is all my fault.
