Marbles | night thirty three

Young not innocent;
Broken and bent.
We whisper all that we vent,
For us to hide what we meant.

Confused not wild;
Quiet and mild.
We make mistakes like a child,
And on fake images we piled.

Louis: Do you still love me?

Harry: (nods)

Louis: [silence]

Harry: Do you still love me?

Louis: [silence]

Harry: (sighs)

Louis: Would you still love me if I leave?

Harry: (nods) Always.

Louis: But why?

Harry: I don't know. (pauses)

Louis: If I come back after leaving, would you still love me?

Harry: (purses lips) Other people offer love too, not the same as yours, but maybe better. (gives small smile) If you ever come back after leaving me, I'm uncertain. Maybe I will, maybe I won't. Maybe I'll love another. (pauses) We're not young anymore.

Louis: No we're not– but please, don't replace me.

Harry: You can't say that.

Louis: [silence]

Harry: [silence]

Louis: I won't be here tomorrow so– (smiles)

Harry: So this is goodbye then? (fakes a smile)

Louis: No, (grabs Harry's hand) it's more of like "I'll see you on the next day."

Harry: Still gonna pick me up?

Louis: (nods) For one last time.
