The Long Wait

He kissed me back. I know he did. I waited in silence for the words I had never heard. I searched his eyes for the answers. They showed no emotions at all. Finally he spoke:

“Aea. I love you. You will always be my true love and I have known that from the begining. If I had also known you loved me I would never have made you suffer without me. I am truely sorry. Can you ever forgive me?”

“I already have Blake. Long ago.” I whispered into the night.

We sat there in each other’s arms for a long time. Around 4 a.m. Blake pulled away. He told me he’d miss me and he would be back tomorrow to take me home.

I couldn’t sleep that night. All I could think about was living with Blake and what my parents would say. I was lost in thought the whole next day too. Again I waited for Blake’s knock on my window.

Late into the night I waited. Around 3 I decided, reluctantly, to go to bed.

Why didn’t you come? I thoguht as I readied for bed.

You’ll know when you awake, sweety. To his voice I fell asleep.
