this time i'll get better

chapter 28: come back?

"Please just please come back."

Come back?

What do you mean you want me to come back? What made you think that I was the one who left? I'm not coming back because I am still here. I am still right where you left me.

Come back.

As if I didn't fought for us and I let you slipped away or as if I did something heinous that I felt guilty and had to leave you.

Come back.

I waited for you. I still do. But as a familiar stranger. We would be so oblivious with what both of us have done, where we've been, what we went through but when we look each other's eyes, we still see the ghosts of our past life dancing through the rain, flying through the skies, soaring with the stars, laughing like there's no tomorrow.

Come back.

I'd appreciate the invitation but I am the one who's waiting at the porch. For you to come back. Don't you realize that you went away to another country and I am always here? I prayed for your happiness and hope that you would find your purpose. And I made my decision to stay here, just until you get back home, back to me.

So don't tell me to "come back" because I never left. I waited and waited. For your return.
