"Why are you doing this?!" he asked, furious. "Why do you keep on pushing me away?!"

She bit her lips. "Because it's not meant to be," she answered, almost whispering.

"How the fuck can you say that?!" There is a hint of frustration in his voice.

"I'm sorry," she said, on the verge of crying. "It's always been like this. I can't let you in. I know how hard you try to be with me. But I just can't let you in. I don't want you to be hurt, too. I can break you. And I don't want that."

He closed his eyes, trying to calm down. "I see," he said bitterly, "my efforts aren't enough, huh? Okay. Fine. Whatever you want." He turned his back from her and started to walk away.

She started crying. "I'm so sorry. But I don't think I deserve you. You were my salvation, but I was your destruction. But even when you're already breaking, you stayed. I don't want that. It's always been like this. I don't want you to be hurt any further."

She looked at his back, fighting the urge to stop him; fighting the urge to hug him. She feels like she lost a guy who could stand by her side even when it's hurting him. But she don't want that. She just stared at his back until he was gone. She smiled and whispered, "Goodbye."
