You hear the footsteps approaching.
You knew he would find you eventually, sat on the beach where the two of you first met.

"I got worried when you didn't come home."
"I'm sorry.. I've just had a lot to think about." He comes and sits beside you, the two of you staring out across the ocean.

He places his hand over yours, adjusting it when you move to properly hold his hand.
You're glad he's here.

"Do you ever feel like you don't belong, Zed?" Your words are quiet, full of truth.
"I do." His response is equally as quiet, almost drowned out by the sound of the waves.

"What do you do when you feel like that? When you feel so isolated, alone? What gives you hope?" He squeezes your hand.

"I create. I make things. I come see you. I'm happiest when I do those things. Creating is my passion, new ways to do old things, it keeps me busy, makes me feel accomplished. You are my love, my company. Someone who understands me in a way that no one else really does. You give me hope." His words are honest, coming from a place of pain, of hurt.
A place you have been, a place you're in now.

"It's hard to feel alone." You feel him nod.
"It is, but no matter what you have to keep trying. We can do this, together. No matter how hard things seem you have to remember it's only temporary." Zed lets go of your hand, moving instead to wrap his arms around you. "It's going to be okay."

"Thank you for coming here. For always being here for me."

"I love you, Y/n, more than any contraption I could ever make. I'll always be here for you."
"I love you too, Zed."
