Out of all the words said, two that I've dreaded my entire life are "Yet" and "Until." Why? Because it means that one day you'll be gone, maybe not immediately, but you will be one day.
"I'm not gone yet." Yet. Why not just exclude that word? Because now anxiety is flared up in my system, my heart races and my mind can only focus on the one word that you'd said, the dreaded yet. The word makes me worry that one day you'll be gone, that you'll disappear and I never know when. Time is no longer on my side.
"I'll be with you until someone breaks us up." Until. Why utter the word? Now I can't breathe, my mind is repeatedly saying the word, until. I'll have you for now, when someone steps between us, you'll leave?
No matter how many "I love you's" shared, no matter how many times you attempt to reassure me that you'll be here forever, my mind will always focus on those words, the dreaded "yet" and "until."
