He said what? Yup, that’s right, he did! Of all the things he could have said, should of said, he said that? Yes, Last night in the car, before he dropped me at me door, he told me.
I couldn’t believe my ears. He had tears in his eyes, and his voice quivered like a school boy. I was afraid to hear it all, yet I swallowed hard and kept my hands busy with a ciggarette.
The rain started again and we heard the thunder rumble in the distance. The air was heavy and smelled like lilacs.
He turned to me and told me again. I all at once pulled at the door handle and grabbed my gum from the console.
“Fuck you too, asshole.” I said calmly, before slamming the door and sauntered up to my front door. I never looked back, and I have never seen my lover again. It’s been 22 years.
