I think over my dilemma all day. To go or stay? It seems so complicated I think to myself, but the truth of the matter is it's perfectly clear. I have to go I have to leave this life and you. I tell myself I'm doing it to keep you safe, out of all the truths, choices and rational let this one be the right one. I need to make the correct decision. We both decided to leave we tell ourselves it will be better this way, but I wonder. I know you wonder too. It's only a year…I shake the thought...besides I do need to get some perspective on my life. You called not long ago you want to meet at my apartment for a drink tonight. I don't want to think, though I know it's irrational, one cannot not think.

Empty beers bottles sit on the table, it's nearing time to leave. I look at your tear stained face the only face I trust and kiss your forehead, then your closed eyes. I step back and look into your eyes, eyes that know me and for a split second they are a peaceful blue. You give me a sad smile, through your tears. Then reality hits you, your eyes are like the stormy ocean a turbulent grey. You are so fragile right now, I can see through you, and I know you feel it, the feeling of being naked emotionally to another I can see it in your eyes. You're scared, but I am too Bones. I leave your apartment whispering "I'll be back soon." You close the door pushing me away, and locking you in.
