let her go

3

                     Only know you love her when you let her go

"I love you," she repeated, over and over again as she kissed me. i smiled, hoping she'd ignore the fact i didn't say it back.

The bell rang, and she sighed in defeat. pouting, she kissed my lips; pulling away as quick as she could.

"See you later, babe."

Then she ran off to the ends of the hallway, turning a left; leaving me alone in the hallway we were in.

"Is she worth it?" a new voice distracted me. i shut my eyes, not wanting to turn around. 

"Worth what?"

"Is she worth hurting me?"

I turned around then, the hurt clear in her eyes. i tried to say something but instead she shook her head, turning at her heel and leaving me alone. 

My shoulders slumped as i watched her walk away. why did i let her go?
