Looking Back

Chapter 6: Hard to Say I'm Sorry

Neo's POV

"Everybody needs a little time away,"

I heard her say, "from each other."

"Even lover's need a holiday far away from each other."

Hold me now. It's hard for me to say I'm sorry.

I just want you to stay.

***

I sighed as I walked down the dark corridors of the Nebuchadnezzer late at night. I know I should go to my room, but I'm just so. afraid. Trinity is in there, and I hurt her feelings. I know couples have these arguments, but somehow I was so afraid to face her.

***

After all that we've been through,

I will make it up to you. I promise to.

And after all that's been said and done,

You're just the part of me I can't let go.

***

Come on, Neo, just go there and apologize. my conscience played with me. I closed my eyes and sighed again. Well, just get it over with.

***

Couldn't stand to be kept away

Just for the day from your body.

Wouldn't wanna be swept away,

Far away from the one that I love

***

I opened the door as gently as I could, and stared at the curled figure on the bed. I knew it was Trinity, and as I walked closer to where she was, I saw that she was asleep. I smiled softly, and sat down on the bed beside her. The pillow was wet and colder than usual, so I knew she had been crying. I kissed her gently on her tear stained cheek, and I felt horrible for making her so upset.

***

Hold me now.

It's hard for me to say I'm sorry.

I just want you to know.

Hold me now. I really want to tell you I'm sorry.

I could never let you go.

***

I never saw Trinity cry, and I knew she hardly did. She had always told me that she might not be the perfect lover, she may keep too much locked up, but I always told her she was the most beautiful, and emotional person I had ever seen, and there were so many ways I could prove it. And I just know, after this, I'd make it up to her. For the rest of her life.

***

After all that we've been through,

I will make it up to you. I promise to.

And after all that's been said and done,

You're just the part of me I can't let go.

***

Her eyes opened then, and I smiled softly. She stared at me coldly at first, to say as if she didn't love me anymore, but I knew more than that. I laid myself down beside her and hugged her tightly. She tried to push away, but then I kissed her on the lips. Slowly, I felt her resistance falling, and I saw a smile creep on her face. It might have been hard for me to say sorry, but I think somehow, she knew. "I love you." I whispered as the kiss ended. She smiled brightly, hugging me tight as well, and we just lay there, as we fell into a dreamless sleep.

***

After all that we've been through,

I will make it up to you. I promise to.

You're gonna be the lucky one.
