"I'm not afraid to say that I'd die without him, who else is gonna put up with me this way? I need you, I breathe you, I'll never leave you."

- Lana Del Rey, Off to the Races


Certain things aren't meant to be. Certain things aren't meant to last.

But we, we lasted. We lasted year after year, never questioning what we did, because we knew when the questioning starts, it never stops. We trusted, we believed that it would last. But fate plays no one's game, but it's own, so we began questioning.

We questioned, and the very second we did, he left.

Perhaps, it was only the complexity of our relationship that enabled us to have lasted for so long, or perhaps it was nothing more than simple lust that kept us tied together.

But love and lust were two very different things. We only made that mistake once.

When he was so close to me, our hearts beat in sync, it was pure love. When our bodies were entangled, and lips were everywhere, it was lust. But no matter what it was, I needed him. I would never leave him. But he left me.

He left. He came back. He weaved his way in and out of my life, each time, promising to be better than the last. Each time, I became the punch line of the pitiful joke that was repeated one too many times.

Every time he came back, we questioned. Every time he left, we drifted...

And now...now we are oceans apart.
