"I love you" Is what you said.
I cringed at the words.
They rolled perfectly off your tongue. You smiled. A true & pure smile Your sweet dimples showing. I knew you were waiting for me to say it back.
"I-I..Lo"
What was stopping me? Why wouldn't the words glide off my tongue as gracefully as yours. I fumbled with your curly blonde hair, stalling. You knew.
Your smile faded, you turn away. I apologize, you just stare out the window at the freezing rain. I touch your shoulder, you jerk away.
"I just can't say it,"
I pray he will understand.
"Okay."
He doesn't.
"You should go"
The words hit my ears like a bullet. I know I fucked up. I always fuck up. I am incapable of love.
I glance at his kind, tired face.
I leave.
