It wasn't a sudden choice, it was as gradual as you pushed.

It started with a tiny little poke and then became a nudge then a push, until I could feel the pressure.

"You won't leave me right!" In jest to a friend, though a little mournful and begging deep down.

"Never!", well, 'never' lasted for 30 seconds.

It wasn't even really a choice, it just seemed it was to be done.

I never told because you never asked and though I asked you never told.

A circle and a dot without.

Just a dot. •

I didn't stay, because no one ever asked me to.
