"I am selfish," She said, looking straight into his eyes.
"I will be selfless," he said.
"If I ever hurt you, I won't even realise it, I don't have the ability," she said.
He chuckled. He was trying to make her stay, and she was giving him reasons he should leave her for. She was self-sabotaging.
"I know you, I can hear your unspoken intentions," he said, moving a step closer to her.
"I am wounded, and I can't be healed," she said, taking a step towards him.
"You call them wounds, I call them scars of bravery," he said, taking another step towards her.
"I can't love anyone other than myself. If you were dying in front of me, I wouldn't bat an eye," she said, which came out as a mere whisper. She stood still like a statue in her place.
"I want you to put yourself above everyone, even me," he said with nothing but love for her. His love for her was immense. He knew her beliefs and her morals were not ideal, but she would always be the one for him.
She wasn't sure of what she wanted for the very first time in her life.
She knew she was selfish but wished she wasn't at that moment.
She knew she was broken but wished she wasn't for him.
She had never felt anything for anyone for almost two decades but wanted to open her deeply buried emotions for him.
She wanted to trust him with all her heart, but her mind played every dark memory of hers to prevent her from moving another step towards him.
"I don't trust you much," she bluntly put forward the thought on her mind at that second.
"I will reassure you every time your trust wavers," he said, pushing back the hair on her face, which was blocking his view.
He wanted her to clearly see his determination and his intransigence for her.
She was the first love he waited twenty years for. He admired her from the shadows.
Nobody mattered to her as he did. And nobody mattered to him like she did.
She hated unnecessary kindness, but she wanted him to be kind and loving to her.
She hated avocating her actions but wanted him to know the reason behind her every wrong deed.
But yet again, her past was an anchor holding her down from moving on.
He elicits emotions from her dead eyes. The eyes that died the day she saw the immobile bodies of her loved ones while she was lying on the floor nearing death.
He reminds her that she is alive and makes her heart race abnormally.
"After I come back, we will still be left with a little time on our contract. Change my mind," she said. She kissed him on the cheek.
That was enough for him to wait for her his entire life. A little hope is all he wanted.
She picked up her suitcase and left the room. She didn't want to look back in fear that she might change her mind.
She spent her entire life making this day a reality. She can't back off now. Not for herself and not for anyone.
