Why You Always Doing That?

I had a friend named Sally. We did everything together. One day, Sally told me that she didn't want to be friends anymore. I was sad. But then, the next day, she said she changed her mind and we could be friends again. I was confused.

Sally had a sweet candy taste. She was fun to be around, just like going to the beach. But sometimes, she would do things to make me angry. It made me feel like sand in my shoes.

Sally had beautiful eyes like watercolor paintings. But whenever she left me, they turned sad and blurry. I didn't understand why she would leave and make me feel this way.

Sally and I thought our friendship would last forever. But sometimes, things change. And no matter how much we wanted to stay together, it was like wild horses pulling us apart.

Even though Sally tasted like heaven, it didn't mean that what she did was right. Sometimes, things that seem perfect on the outside can hurt us on the inside, just like hot summer and a cold watermelon.

Sally's love felt like a sting, just like when we accidentally cut ourselves and it tastes like blood and lemon. It was a strange mix of good and bad feelings.
