Can not touch
Can not hold
Can not be together
Rogue looked at Logan sitting on the end of her bed. She knew what was coming. It was coming to this for awhile now.
Logan had been getting more and more intimate with her lately. She wanted to be with him so badly, but knew that it could
never happen. Logan moved towards her. He reached for her hand, but she moved it away. She held up her hand showing that she
had no gloves on.
Can not love
Can not kiss
Can not have each other
Their love seemed forbidden in a way. Not like it wasn't meant to be, but in a way that their bodies kept them
apart. Rogue wanted to kiss Logan to badly. Last time they did that they got too involved and Logan ended up on the ground
convulsing. He recovered quickly, but she refused to kiss him again after that.
Must be strong
And we must let go
Can not say what our hearts must know
Logan moved towards her again. Rogue backed away, shuffling towards the head of the bed. She had to do this. She
knew she had. For him and for her. He reached for her. She pulled away looking at the window. She breathed in deeply and
lifted her head up high. She knew this was for the better. Logan went to say something. Something she knew was 'I love you'.
He didn't finish it and she didn't want to hear it. She wanted to say it too, but wouldn't say it. It was too hard.
How can I not love you
What do I tell my heart
When do I not want you,
Here in my arms
Logan shrunk back into himself as she turned away. Rogue looked at him with longing. She loved him so much. How
could she not? She place a hand on her heart. It was pounding beyond belief. She couldn't stand it. She wanted to reach out
and jump into his arms. She knew that wouldn't help anything. She just couldn't. Logan stood up and walked towards the door.
How does one waltz away,
From all the memories
How do I not miss you.
When you are gone
He placed his hand on the door. He paused for a quite second before he opened it. He sort of glided out into the
hallway. Logan turned and looked at Rogue standing in front of her bed. He smiled at her remembering the first time he saw
her standing there. It was a night to always remember. Logan sighed. Rogue saw him with a frustrated look. As if he was
deciding to stay or not. She knew he was going to leave.
Can not dream
Can not share,
Sweet and tender moments
Rogue dreamed of him staying and taking her in his powerful arms and placing her on her bed. She shook her head. She
wanted to be with him, but knew that it wouldn't work out. She wanted to be there with him forever. When they got married
and had children. She laughed. There would be no way she could have kids. There just wouldn't be. No children for her. No
husband either. Tears rolled down her cheeks as she watched him watching her.
Can not feel
How we feel
Must pretend it's over
The school knew about them in some way, but no one would out right say it. Most people were against it. She was a
student and he was a teacher. No one condemned them for their feelings, but it wasn't liked either. They knew they had to
stop this thing before it got any further. Their feelings would never go away, but they had to act like they were.
Must be brave,
And we must go on
Must not say,
What we've known all along
She stood there not moving, not breathing because if she did she would break. She didn't know what she would do
after he left, but she would survive. She could still tell that he had something to say to her. She had so many things too,
but it would just complicate things further. So much more further. Things would become too hard for them to end this.
How can I not love you
What do I tell my heart
When do I not want you,
Here in my arms
Rogue walked slowly towards Logan. She was crying so hard. He opened his arms for her. She embraced him tightly.
She knew this was goodbye. She hugged him as tightly as she could; never wanting to let go. He stroked her hair. He told
her it would be OK. Then he let her go and backed away. He smiled sadly, then reached out. He ran his hand through her hair,
then ran his fingers down the white bangs.
How does one waltz away.
From all the memories
How do I not miss you.
When you are gone
Logan let go of her hair. He turned and walked away. She stood against the wall sobbing. She thought back to the
night her came to visit her with a bottle of whiskey. They didn't remember that night, but she did remember him sneaking
down the hall to his room. Oh how she was going to miss him. She was going to miss him so much.
Must be brave,
And we must be strong
Can not say,
What we've known all along
Rogue straightened herself up and marched back into her room. She threw her self onto her bed. She breathed deeply
so she wouldn't cry. She reached under her bed and pulled out a book. It was her diary. She had been keeping one for as long
as she could remember. Writing always helped clear her mind. She stared her entry. She wrote about what had happened. Then
she ended by saying, Can not say what we've known all along.
