“I’m doing you a favor, Phil. You deserve to live happily, not tangled in this mess. I’ll only hurt you.”
“I don’t care.”
“I’ll only make you cry.”
“I never saw that as a weakness.”
“I’ll only leave you,” I said finally, my eyes boring into his. It was the truth that was never spoken out loud and yet hovered over us like a ghost, hauntingly. Philip stared back, his gaze unyielding.
“Then I’ll wait for you,” he said with certainty, surprising me. “I’ll wait for you to come back.”
“And if I don’t?” A tear slipped from my eye as I waited for his reply. It was true that once I leave I was never coming back. Death never gave second chances. There was a pause and the only sound being heard was our harsh breathing…and just maybe if one would listen closely, the wild beating of our hearts.
“Then I guess I’ll be waiting forever.”
