"I will not let you do this to me!" you scream at him. He takes it like a man. You want to slap him, but that would only make matters worse. So you cross your arms and pace instead. "Come on-" "No. Don't even try!" Your voice shakes a little. He catches it. "You're scared." He laughs at you. You turn around so he won't see the curse you throw at him. "Grow up, for once. And forget about it. And me." With a shock filled face you twist around to face him. "Forget about you?" You laugh mockingly at him. "I will never, ever forget about you. You know that." You know he takes it to heart, but of course he won't show it.
He sighs. "You're making this much harder than it should be." You desperately try and think of something intelligent to say. You end up throwing your hands up in frustrated. "I wish I could just give up on you," you say, but immediately know it's the wrong thing. "Yes! I wish you would, too. Sometimes, I wish we had never happened, exactly for this reason." The words reopen the first wound he had ever given you. You stare at him in disbelief. You never though he could be so uncaring. You really thought that you could have melted his ice cold heart. But you were wrong.
"I wish you'd take that back." Your life was full of wishes that never came true, except for him.... "I wish life could be like it used to. I wish you could go back to the way you were. I wish we could be what is normal!" The words fly from your mouth without you really realizing what you are saying. "'I wish, I wish, I wish...'. Is that all you can say?" You defiantly shake your head. "I want you." He hesitates, and you know you finally caught him. You continue. "I want you. I love you. I want you to stay with me." "No! I will not stay, especially if it is with you." Your wound bleeds, and it is so painful.
"I hate you," you whisper, just loud enough for him to hear. Then you sink to floor in defeat. You wrap your arms around your knees and duck your head. You hear his footsteps coming closer. Go away! you want to yell at him. You can feel him kneeling beside you. He touches your cheek gently, slowly turning your head to his. Your lips meet in a wanting kiss. But, too soon, it is over. "I wish it didn't have to end like this." And then, he was gone.
