A/N: Inspired by a quote I read one day, and I thought that SOMEBODY had to write about it. So here it is. A drabble.

Couple: You'll just have to work it out for yourselves, even though I had a very definite couple in mind for this.

Disclaimer: Own nothing except plot.


Walking Away

I regret everything.

Everything that I said, everything that I did and everything that I felt. And still feel,

I regret the arguments. I regret the shouting matches. I regret the bad choices that I made. I regret ever getting tangled up in anything.

But most of all I regret letting myself fall for you.

I should have seen it. It wouldn't have been clearer if there was a 'danger' sign hanging around your neck and red sirens coming off your head. But I missed it like the complete and utter fool I am.

You know me; always have to go for the one I can't have.

I've always loved challenges. The more unlikely it seems that I come out on top, the harder I push and the harder I try.

I guess that's what attracted me to you in the first place. You were a challenge to be overcome, a competition to be won.

But the harder I tried, the harder you resisted. With each pull, you pushed. The harder I pulled, the harder you pushed. It was like a game of give and take. I kept on giving, and you always took. But you never wanted to change places.

Then there was that horrid row.

One misplaced word, and everything that I built our relationship on crumbled like wood turned to ash.

I walked away from that door, hoping to hope itself that you would come after me.

But I guess I always knew that when I walked away from that argument, you wouldn't run after me.

You never did.
