...She asked, “why couldn’t you move on?” I laugh at the idea, it’s not like she could have known, as if she’s been there for me. I take a second to answer, “because you didn’t give me much to move on from,” then she stared. I could feel her eyes ripping my insides out yet still I stood there without an expression to show. “Well it’s not like you gave me a choice,” she said, “how could you expect me to wait for you in the same exact place you left me.” You see she was right, this whole time I couldn't imagine what she felt in my absence. “Look, why did you bother to come visit me if you were going to patronize me?” She knew I had no answer, never the less I responded out of pure anxiety. Prior to this conversation I hadn’t heard from her in over a year and suddenly she’s standing right at my doorstep. “You left me a long time ago but haven’t moved on since, have you?” Just like that my entire body flinches as my only reaction is to break and smile. “So let me get this straight; you came all the way here to question my current feelings for you because you can?” I exclaimed, a slight crack in my voice but I try to drown it out with volume. “No,” she said, “I came here because I miss you and you miss me.” I caught wind she knew something, someone must have leaked specifically what I told them not to say. As we stood there all I possibly think was just how beautiful she was, her every word, and the way she saw right through me. “Youre right, I do miss you, a lot, every single day.” I began to shake, “I tried so hard to forget you and move on but the harder I tried the more it became apparent I couldn’t.” Her eyes lit up as she whispered, “thank you,” she reached over and grabbed me. In this moment I couldn’t breathe, all I felt were her lungs as she released a fire onto my neck. “I’m sorry,” I inhaled her scent and felt something I haven’t felt in so long. I squeeze a little tighter as she says, “shut up,” she rests her head on my chest. We didn’t say anything, just stood there and embraced the one another until forever took hold and was the end of it. I guess it takes something very human to just make life happen, and when it happens, well, it’s eternal...
