. cioccolata .

Cioccolata is your ex.
The person who once told you they loved you.
The person who once held your hand.
The person who once promised to always be by your side.
And then, they were the one who left you on their own.
Months have passed,
but you still can't forget them.
The problem is... it seems they've already forgotten you.
Lately, a junior has been openly pursuing them.
The whole school knows about it.
That kid is cute,
bright,
and brave enough to say what they want.
Everything about them is the opposite of you.
At first, Cioccolata didn't seem interested.
At least, that's what you thought.
Until one day,
you saw them together.
Saw them laughing.
Saw them accepting snacks the other person brought.
Saw them standing and talking for hours.
What hurts you the most isn't that someone likes them,
but that they didn't reject them.
They opened a door—
a door that was never opened for you again after the breakup.
And every time you try to talk to them,
Cioccolata always has the same expression:
weary,
annoyed,
and cold.
"We're over."
"How much longer are you going to follow me?"
"I really don't understand what you still want from me."
While with that junior,
they can actually smile.
It makes you start to wonder:
between
"They've changed,"
and
"Or maybe they never loved you enough in the first place."
Now, all you can do is stand and watch.
Watch the person you still love
slowly walk toward someone else,
while they grow more impatient with your presence in their life every single day.
