'Goodbye.'

"Goodbye."
It was such a simple word, but it held so much power. It just hung in the air, tension growing with it. I stared, uncertainty shining in my eyes. It seemed so sudden.
'What did you mean by goodbye?' I thought.
You stood across from me, spiky hair blowing in the wind. Your eyes mirrored my own, sadness lingering in the blue depths. You looked torn between what you wanted and what you needed to do.
The tension grew with each second, neither of us speaking. I couldn't form words, all sense leaving me. I couldn't understand what was happening. One moment we were best friends and the next minute we were lovers. Now, we were back to square one. Only this time, we weren't even friends.
My heart thudded violently in my chest, anxiety rising to life. You were leaving for good, this I knew. You didn't say it, but I knew it was the truth. You and I could read one another. We mirrored each other. We are yin and yang. Two halves of one soul. Soul Mates.
We stared at one another hurt crossing our faces. You reach out, taking my hands into your own. Despite everything I felt, I allowed it.
You pressed your lips to my palms, tears cascading down your cheeks. As you pull away, I can only stare.
"Why?"
I finally found my voice, albeit hoarse in tone. I held back my tears, not wanting to make this worse.
You look back at me, startled. Your eyes meld with mine, depression and secrets hidden behind those cerulean depths.
You were keeping something from me.
"It's the only way, Roxas. I can't let you get hurt."
Your words shock me. I know you won't tell me why you're leaving but now I know it's not on purpose. You were leaving me because you had to for my own safety.
Typical of my lover. My Sora. You say the one word that would break me and here I am, losing every bit of my sanity as you plant a kiss on my forehead. You turn on your heel, gazing at me sadly.
"Goodbye."
