he looks at her, really looks at her.

her bright eyes held a deep layer of sadness, her straight posture was now slight slouch, her smile seemed a bit more than forced.

and he felt that too familiar ache in his heart again.

you, you didn't do anything of the sort. 

when she raises her eyes to meet him, there's this pull at his aching heart as he sees such distraught and he realizes how much it's been eating at her.

it's my fault.

she hears his words, and immediately wants to roll her eyes.

but if she did that, then the tears threatening to spill over most definitely would. she ducks her head down a little, not wanting to see the pitiful understanding look in his eyes.

seeing you again, she whispers, is probably the hardest thing ever. but hearing you say it's your fault when it isn't, is much, much worse. you're only saying that to make me feel better. please don't.

his hand finds its way under her chin, and he makes her look at him. she feels the tears finally fall, and she realizes what she knew all along but would never acknowledge it.

it would have to take a lot more than time and distance to really get over him.
