"I know I was selfish. I was so young and stupid to not realize it." I say looking down to the floor.

"Realize that it should have been me all along?" He says raising his voice a bit. I could tell he was hurt his words were laced with sadness & pain.

"Yes, but now I'm not so young." I say finally looking him in the eyes. As I started to walk closer to him. He took a step back making the space between us more unbearable to me.

"And?" He asked running his hands down his face in frustration.

"It has been you , all that fucking time. You were the one. You were the one that I should have chose." I said stepping closer to him so I could grab his fragile face in my hands.

"It isn't too late." He whispers , barely enough so that I could hear.

"It isn't?" I say surprised & relieved.

"No." He says grabbing my hand and letting it fall by my side.

"Why did you-"

Before I could finish my sentence I felt his hands grab my face & press his lips to mine. I could taste the salt from the tears he let slip earlier.
I pulled him closer. Taking in this moment that we have wanted since that winter night. Everything was falling into place. This time I'll never let him go.
