It was the kind of moment that sent shivers down his spine...he drifted off to high school, where she passed the note to him. It was a crumpled up piece of notebook paper which read,
"His love withheld, life goes on.
His life's withheld when that love is gone."

Keep my thoughts to myself and she won't get hurt. He never saw her again. He figured that she was better off walking into the sunset because at least that way, it still seemed like she was walking toward a bright future...
