When I was in 6th grade, I asked a teacher if she was pregnant.

She was not.

True mortification.

If I could go back I wouldn't take his love for granted, because now it's gone. I would cherish all the laughter, smiles, and moments we shared. Absorb everything going on in the moment. Make sure to show how much I loved him every moment I could. Breathe in his fragrant smelling conditioner and run my fingers through his hair. Spend my nights talking to him about life and death and everything in between. Unfortunately now these things are only memories of the past, but it reminds me to cherish the moments I have now with loved ones and make the most out of the relationships I have.
