A Monologue By My Cousin

My tears fell silently as you walked away. Why did you leave me?! What did I do wrong?! Did I yell to hard? Were our fights to long? Please tell me. I have my arms open. You are welcome to come anytime. I love you. And you run away every time I mention it. Are you afraid of your feelings? Afraid to tell me the truth? I know your secret. I'm not as dumb as you thought. Why did you keep it from me?! Couldn't you have told me? Why did I have to hear it from another mouth?! Please tell me. I'm sick and tired of this! If you want to leave me again, just let me tell you this... I don't love you.
