When I'm home, I take a shower and eat.
I'm watching TV when you appear next to me.
Thankfully, you don't talk. We watch TV together like we used to.
"I just need you to remember." You say sadly.
"Why?" I turn towards you but your eyes are still riveted on the screen.
"So that I can leave."
You're asking too much.
Don't you know that as long as you shine, I'll live and smile?
You turn to me then, and your eyes...
I want to look away, but I don't. I can't.
You look so sad.
"Please, let me go." You whisper and it breaks something in me.
I hadn't heard so much hurt in a voice for so long...
