Walk On By

Do you know what it felt like, you bastard Kino want to screech. Two fucking years is a long time not to see somebody you're hopelessly devoted to and in love with.
"I never made you any promises. Why do you want so much from me Kino! I gave my time on that rust bucket, God I gave so much of myself over to you and that feeling. I could've done so many fucking things with my time, but I was here with you before I left. Don't you understand I had to leave?" He whispered back.

She'd found him amidst this jabbering coffee crowd against his cloaking and hiding; she'd finally found her beloved Hayami. He was still the same, wide eyed as though he expected his world to come crashing down on him, cigarettes in tow.

"God, woman I loved you...but it's just not going to work." He breathed, smelling the gentle breeze in her now long hair. How he wish he could, love her at least for tonight, closing the space between them his head dipped as he sought to claim her lip uncaring as to who saw.

"I'm not you're toy." tear gathered misting her bright eyes, "I love you." she growled out. "Tell me why this can't work so that I can leave you alone like you always wanted." Callus hands caressed her cheek as he peered down at her lips parted, mind working up lies.

"A long time ago, a monster came it opened its mouth and swallowed my world and I was helplessly lost in it. I could barely help myself. If you love me don't make me feel like this..."Warm breath husked against her cheek as a tear rolled down.
"Leave me...now" Releasing her Hayami gasped his jacket from the chair's back and headed out the diner.

"I can't leave you..."tears ran freely unwilling to be caged any longer, she gave up crying a long time ago but here Kino stood lost in putrid thoughts, shivering slightly as a hand rested on her shoulder.

"Are you alright Ms.?" someone questioned.

Her obvious answer would have been yes but that was not true. She still lied though as she awkwardly exited the diner feeling ashamed and embarrassed at the outburst.
