Forbidden Fruit (Travis Kelce)

Ocean Eyes

Arianna

The soft morning light filtered through the curtains, casting a gentle glow across the room. I lay there for a moment, listening to the steady rhythm of Travis's breathing beside me. My heart ached with the realization that I had to leave, that this brief respite from reality was coming to an end.

I carefully slipped out of bed, trying not to wake him. As I moved through the room, gathering my things, I found a piece of paper and a pen on the desk. I knew I couldn't face him before leaving. If I saw those eyes, felt that touch, I wouldn't be able to go. So, I decided to write him a letter.

Sitting down at the desk, I took a deep breath and began to write. The words flowed easily, a mix of sorrow and resolution.

Dear Travis,

I'm sorry I couldn't say this in person, but I had to leave. Seeing you would make it impossible to go, and I need to do this for myself.

The time we spent together was special, and I'll cherish it always. But realistically, we can never be together successfully right now. I need to work on myself before I can fully commit to someone else.

I wrote a song for you. It's my way of saying goodbye and explaining why I have to leave. Please understand that this has nothing to do with you and everything to do with me.

I've been watching you for some time
Can't stop staring at those ocean eyes
Burning cities and napalm skies
Fifteen flares inside those ocean eyes
Your ocean eyes

No fair
You really know how to make me cry
When you give me those ocean eyes
I'm scared
I've never fallen from quite this high
Falling into your ocean eyes
Those ocean eyes

I've been walking through a world gone blind
Can't stop thinking of your diamond mind
Careful creature made friends with time
He left her lonely with a diamond mind
And those ocean eyes

No fair
You really know how to make me cry
When you give me those ocean eyes
I'm scared
I've never fallen from quite this high
Falling into your ocean eyes
Those ocean eyes

No fair
You really know how to make me cry
When you give me those ocean eyes
I'm scared
I've never fallen from quite this high
Falling into your ocean eyes
Those ocean eyes

 felt a sense of closure. I carefully folded the letter and placed it on the nightstand next to Travis, then quietly slipped out of the room. I went to the kitchen, leaving the song and my heart behind.

I called my driver to let him know I was ready, and as I waited, I took one last look around the house. Memories of our time together flashed through my mind, bittersweet and poignant.

When my driver arrived, I stepped outside, feeling the cool morning air on my skin. I climbed into the car and we drove to the airport, where the jet was waiting to take me back to LA.

As I stood on the tarmac, I took one last look at Kansas City, the place where I had experienced so much joy and heartache in such a short time. A part of me wanted to stay, to see where things could go with Travis, but I knew that I needed to find myself first.

With a deep breath, I boarded the plane, feeling a mixture of sadness and determination. I had to move forward, to figure out who I was and what I wanted. Maybe, someday, Travis and I would find our way back to each other. But for now, this was goodbye.
