His beautiful hazel orbs stare deep into my soul. The way his arms worm around me and tighten at my waist. It's as if he's saying good bye. In the moment I didn't really realize he really was saying good bye. My heart slowly tearing to pieces. He tightens his grasp on me.
"I'm so sorry, Gajeel." he whispers into my ear.
"I am too, Levi." I reply.
My skin grew cold and metallic on the surface recreating the barriers I once had. The ones that kept people away and kept me safe. The ones that he melted and broke through.
"I'm going away and I don't know when I'll be back." his soft voice reaches me.
My world was shattering briefly. The words he spoke were so foreign to me coming from his mouth.
"It's alright. I guess we could say we are...done and I know you'll find...a great girl." my voice cracks towards the end.
The light that once illuminated my life was slowly fading away. I am back once again in the shadows I had left behind and the darkness engulfs my world again. The shadows that I learned to live in had me again. The place where all the monsters ate at my being, that's where I am again...again...
"I think its safe to say that you are and will always be the greatest adventure I've ever had in my life, Gajeel. I hope you find better." with this, tears flow from his eyes, and he walks away. His retreating back is what will haunt my dreams.
"Good bye, Levi." my voice, barely a whisper and it reaches his ears.
I can tell because he stopped in his tracks and then continued walking. Turning on my heels, I leave the place we used to spend time in. The place where we shared good times and bad.
Where we shared a first embrace...
a first kiss...
our first laughs together...
our first pains with one another...
and now a first heart ache because of each other...
The place we called ours...
