Disclaimer- I don't own Casey or Derek or the song She said, I said (Time to Let Go) by NLT (who sadly are not together anymore :(...anyway enjoy!)


I stared at her, at the tears falling down her face, and I almost caved. I almost opened my arms to her and let her run to me but I had to be strong, it was time to let go. We had become different people, we wanted different things. I understood that, I really did, but I also understood that the best thing to do was end this before we came to resent each other.

"Why?" she whispered so quietly, I probably could've heard a pin drop in the other room.

I thought before I spoke, "I feel like we are in the same room but we're living two worlds apart and its causing me too much pain, I'm sorry. I just think we both need time."

She stared at me, more tears falling down her face, but she didn't speak. After a moment of staring at each other, not moving, I figured it was my cue to leave.

"I'm sorry." I said, my back to her, as I opened the front door.

"Derek, baby, can you please just stay?" She grabbed my arm before I was able to leave, "it ain't too late to work this thing out."

I rested my forehead against her, "Casey, this isn't easy for me but at least the truth is coming out…I'm sorry."

But she said, "Why can't we make up like the last time? I'm just afraid to hear you say go."

I pressed my hands against her face and wiped away as many tears as I could.

"Baby, I'm sorry," I gave her one final kiss. Tears formed in my eyes as I realized this was the last time I would be able to hold her, be able to kiss her, "I think it's time we let go."
