How am I supposed to answer him; the only boy that ever remained true, the only one who ever remained by my side; how am I supposed to answer about how I abandoned him with no warning?
I shift my gaze away from him, I can't do it; I can't look at him, not now. The pain is too unbearable. Maybe if I'd told him, maybe if I hadn't of left everything would have remained so intact, not how it is now; fractured, possibly broken with it too damaged to be repaired.
Minor Setbacks, I think to myself; life always has minor setbacks; you've just gotta keep moving forward; too bad I'm not the most optimistic person on the block.
I glance back up again, look at him; I search his face; his eyes; I'm swimming in his eyes just waiting to see the recognition of my emotions within his eyes as well; I whisper, "I'm sorry."
I think the words have lost their meaning.
