He stands at my door, his eyes begging of me to let him in. After a moment, I step to the side and silently he walks past me, into the living room. I shut the door and turn to him. My heart screams at me to say something, anything, but no words escape my tightly shut mouth. I cross my arms and wait impatiently for him to speak. He stares at the floor, seeming unsure of why he is here. Finally, after what seems like an eternity, he glances up at me and my heart skips a beat as I notice a tear sliding down his cheek. My cold gaze softens and I walk towards him. We are inches apart and he looks deep into my eyes, as I look into his. I open my mouth, but he puts his fingers to my lips. He takes a ragged breath and in a shaky voice, he begins to speak.
"I love you." The three words I've been waited for, the three words neither of us have had the courage to say. Words that seemed like they would never be said; yet here they were, hanging in the air. Those three words lift years of pain off my shoulders, they find their way into my heart and break down the walls I spent so long building. In mere seconds, a lifetime of hurt and betrayal is gone. As he takes a hold of my hands, he softly kisses me. Time stands still and I put my arms around his neck, deepening the kiss. All that we never did, all that we never said, doesn't matter. We've made it, to the point we've strived for. The place that we thought we'd never get to. Yet, we are here. I close my eyes and hold him close.
I feel him pull away and open my eyes. He's gone. There is nobody with me, I'm in my apartment. Alone. A few candles dimly light the room and I hear the rain pounding fiercely on my windows. A chill comes over me and I pull a blanket tightly around my body. I silently scold myself for letting my imagination get the best of me. As I head to bedroom, a loud knocking on my door startles me….
