  The morning was a drag. I saved the tears for the car ride home. My dad packed all my bags in the car for me well I ate breakfast with my mom.

"Dad you didn't have to do that."

I say.

"Its alright I don't mind."

I hug my mom and dad and said my goodbyes.

"I'll miss you." I say to both of them.

"We will miss you too." My mom says.

"Make sure to visit us again soon!" My dad adds.

I walk out the door still feeling tired. It was 5:40 am and it was to early for me. I open the garage door. My car has been sitting in the garage since I got here. Which was three months ago. As I walk over to the garage I catch something. I look over to the beach and there was Robert standing. Facing the water. Looking out to the ocean. The sun was just rising. I approach him.

  I stand next to him. I look at him. His eyes red puffy. "I love you." I say.

I just hope he knows that. I really do.

"Do you remember when I said love comes fast?" He say finally speaking.

The memory comes in my head.

"Yes I remember."

He finally makes eye contact with me.

"I lied." He says looking back at the ocean water.

I stood there confused. What does he mean he lied?

"Love comes slow but it goes so fast."

He was so right. And specificly about us. Our love came slow and steady. And now its leaving. Leaving fast.

I stand there not saying anything.

"Is this good bye forever because if it is I just want you to know I will wait here for you forever." He says now facing me. I cry. I thought I ran out of tears but I didn't.

He cries to.

"I know you will wait but I don't know if I will ever come back. Maybe to visit my parents but that's it."

I could taste the tears in my mouth.

"Didn't you say you loved me just a minute ago?" He asked well his voice sounded shaky.

"Yes I did say I love you because I do."

"Well if you loved me then you would not do this to me." He say proving a point.

I move closer to him and let our lips touch. It hurt so much to let go of that kiss but I had to.

"Goodbye Robert." I say walking away.

He watches me walk away and get in my car. I drive off leaving Robert behind.

   I drive as like nothing ever happened. I eventually start to cry so much I had to stop the car. I pulled over on the high way. Cars flew by me as I wiped the tears away. I slowly calmed down but I was already missing Robert. I start the car once more and drive off. I head home to Tom.
