They had been here before. Hearts beating in unison as the rain beat down on the little covering they had. It was years ago, seemed like ages ago, but here they are again.
She looked up at him; tears welling in her brown eyes. He was the only man she had ever loved, ever wanted. It was sad how much everything had changed. What once was, though she was terrified to admit, would never be again without a miracle. They loved each other, always would, but to much was missing.
She needed more. As time progressed, he has forgotten that there were still adventures to have and new things to learn. He didn't know her anymore, and sometimes she struggled to know him.
He leaned down, drips of rain catching in his hair, and kissed her forehead softly. She longed to fold herself into him, to forget it all. At the same time she was hit with the realization that to do that would only prolong the inevitable and cause more confusion for them both.
To pull away seemed like the nicest thing she could do, the only thing she could do. For him and for her. So she did, the tears streaming down her face & blending with the rain falling from the sky. She gave him one last look as she turned away. Saw the pain in his eyes that mimicked her own, but she knew deep down this was for the best.
Unfortunately, the right thing often is the most painful.
