Allright, this is really short and sad. It may also be a little to short ... I don't know. Please tell me what you think!
"I love you", he said and deeply looked into her wonderful eyes that were shining with emotion, "I just wanted you to know that." She returned his glance and saw nothing but frankness. He really meant what he said. But why now?
He kissed her one last time and then walked away. A tear trailed down her cheek. Why? That was all that she could think about at the moment, but she had no answer for.
He walked through the streets – lonely and empty they were, just as was his heart. He had to do it, had to leave her. It was for her own good and for his too. The only problem was that it hurt terribly. Damn, only a week ago he wouldn't have thought about leaving her. But he had to – it was becoming too much for them to bear, too much to hide. Gibbs rules turned out to be right after all. Loving a co-worker was never a good idea. He didn't want her to get hurt while she was protecting him – like the last time. He couldn't take it anymore. But it was difficult.
Can you stop loving someone? Someone you love with your heart and life?
