You told me you wanted to join the army. You decided two days ago when you "felt bored" and your younger sister applying to college made you realize you're behind in school. I said wow, that's a huge decision and wished you the best of luck.
I asked what compelled you. You said it was a great opportunity and since you're fed up with your parents and in debt, a change could be good.
You asked me what I thought. I told you lies about how that actually might be a good idea.
I did wonder what you'd do with all of your passions and your love for the city. Virginia is not the same as California and things might be a little harder for you.
But what I didn't tell you was that some selfish part of me actually wants you to stay because we barely got to know each other. You were right, I did play games and I wasn't serious. I just thought we had more time.
Things are different now, nothing's serious and everything surface. All you do is joke around and it's sometimes funny, but mostly sad and all you do is laugh, but I know you really want to cry.
And it's okay. Just know, there's no crying in the army.
