Her hands slid to my face. There were tears in her eyes, but I knew deep down that it wasn’t because she loved me. It was because she was going to walk away again. She just couldn’t accept who I was, and she would fight her feelings forever.
I kissed her once more on the lips and pulled her into my arms as I laid down beside her. I could feel her tears on my chest and it broke my fucking heart. I didn’t know what more I could say to her. She had made up her mind and there was nothing more I could do.
When I woke in the morning, she was gone. It was the weekend and she didn’t have work. She didn’t want to be with me, so she left. I sighed and stared at the ceiling. I was shocked when I felt a tear slip from my eyes. She was gone, and I was all alone.
