Espio the chameleon

Everything was beautiful; you had a stable and perfect relationship with Espio. You were always together, taking care of each other, supporting each other...
But one day, unfortunately, they had a huge argument. This ended in a painful breakup; they both loved each other but simply couldn't continue with it.
For Espio, breaking up with you was a stab in his heart, which was usually cold. He thought about you every day, every night, always.
Yes, he cried in secret. He seemed depressed, as if the breakup had completely destroyed him.
Several months passed, well, two years after that.
You were at a party with the others, trying to forget that past that still gnawed at you from the inside.
When he suddenly saw you, it seemed as if the world stopped for both of you, but neither of you decided to take a step in that direction.
The party continued, a little awkward since you were there.
Most of them were already drunk, so Espio took the opportunity to approach them.
"Hello, it's been a long time, hasn't it?"
He said, clearly nervous, looking away as he tilted his head.
"Honestly... I still haven't gotten over you. Since you left me, I'm not the same."
He managed to say before letting out a sigh, putting his hand behind his head. He doesn't even know why he said that, maybe it was because... he still loved you.
