I saw her today.
She was just as beautiful as ever. Her brown, flawless hair framing her face in a way that made my heart flutter. I'd always loved her hair. A fact I'd told her several times before. Something I knew she'd taken to heart.
But when I walked past her, trying to avoid looking at her for more than a second, I asked myself if it mattered anymore? I had undoubtely broken her heart in half. Something which I would never forgive myself for. Just like I would never forgive myself if I let her near me again. My presence only caused her pain. All I could do now, was to stay away from her. Until she forgot me.
Only, I couldn't.
As soon as I had found a seat in the cafeteria, my eyes drifted off to the door I just came through. And there she was. Her eyes over-looking the room, only stopping for a fraction of a second when she passed me.
But it was enough.
Enough for me to see the tremour in her body, the pain in her eyes she so desperetely tried to hide. And it was all because of me. I had caused her this pain. I knew I could take it away in a second though, just by walking straight up to her and tell her that I lied. Except that I couldn't. I couldn't be that selfish. I couldn't risk her life just because I couldn't stand seeing her in pain. Alive and in pain was better than dead.
At least that was how I saw it. But I knew she would say differently. That I could never hurt her, never do anything that would cause her pain. But looking at the pained expression her face now wore, I knew she was wrong.
Almost as if she knew I was thinking off her, her eyes locked onto mine. And what I saw in that moment, in those deep dark eyes, was something I never wanted to see again.
Betrayal.
And just as fast as her eyes cought a hold of mine, she looked away. Her retreating back speaking volumes.
"Love fades. Mine has."
Was it possible that I had made a mistake?
Verdict?
