"It's all over, isn't it?" He choked out, wandering my eyes with frustration. He couldn't let go of me yet, he wasn't ready for it.
We were desperately standing on the lagoon, instead of the shimmering ocean from the moonlight, we were gazing at each other for one last time.
I pursed my lips with a shrug. "There isn't any other way." I cleared my throat, "I have to let you go."
He bit the bottom of his lips and looked down with a nod.
He paused for a moment, eyes swelling up with tears. It hurt him. I hurt him and I also hurt myself.
"This shouldn't have happened, I shouldn't have met you." I blurted out as my lips trembled. "But I'm also glad I did. And if I am ever to repeat this again, I won't even hesitate."
"Isn't there like-" He smiled and whipped the tear off his cheek. "a permanent stay for you here, in my world?"
I let out an innocent chuckle and reached for his cheeks to cup. "Unfortunately not."
He nodded, trying to process all of it. "What happens if you never go back?"
"I'll probably die or get into a real coma this time." I pursed my lips, "No one knows. What I'm sure of is that brain won't be able to function properly."
"So there's no solution for you to stay with me?" He slowly shook his head, hopelessly biting the bottom of his lips.
My eyes started to water, and his figure blurred a bit. "No-" I choked out.
He nodded again, looking down as he dropped his head. I waited for him to say something as I reached my hand for his back.
"This isn't fair-" He cried out as though he was about to collapse and shutter. "I need you here with me, I can't lose you again. Why do I keep letting you go?!"
I rubbed his back, forcing in tears. "There's nothing we can do, Mikhail." I leaned to rest my chin on his forehead. "It has always been this way."
He looked back at me, tears swelling up his eyes. "Where will your home be when I'm not here for you anymore?" He questioned.
I could feel thoughts sinking deep into his chest, as though they were flavored with poison.
I blinked multiple times to force in tears that were about to take the best if me. "It will still be you." A sorrowful smile escaped my lips.
"I've been watching over you this whole time-" He whispered.
"You have?"
"I didn't know what was the reason you couldn't reach for me anymore." He looked up at me, eyes burning with agony. "I tried to talk to you, I tried to touch you, hold you, but I couldn't. Nothing happened. I had no idea what was wrong with me."
