  Summary

  You never really stopped loving Javier Peña. Not even when he started dating Lorraine. You knew that he was all that you wanted, and him leaving with her only made you miss him and long for him more. You wondered if there was something you could have changed, that would have made things go smoother. You weren't sure, but time sure did tell.
