A/n: Yessh, this was originally posted alone, out of this collection, but after thinking about it, I found it fit with the theme nicely and decided I'd go ahead and re-post it. Tis extremely short anyways XD

There's so much I want to say to you. I want to make you understand the way things are and will have to be between the two of us. I want to show you everything I need you to see.
But I just can't.
Keira, I love you. You know I love you. I've loved you since I was twelve. And I know you love me back. It's more than some childish crush between friends. I want to be with you and stay with you for the rest of my life.
But not like this. Things have changed; you know that--I know that. I'm not who I was. I'm a danger to you. A huge danger. I love you too much to put you through that risk. And I know I frighten you. You don't have to hide it from me. I understand. Really, I do.
I love you, that's why we can't do this to each other anymore.
That's what I want to say.
What comes out of my mouth is, "I need some air."
After I leave the room, I grab at my chopped short hair, fighting back the urge to scream. Why can't I ever say the right thing to you?
Why can't I just tell you goodbye?
