"I'm afraid to see him again" I spoke out avoiding her gaze.
"Why're you afraid?" she asked me wearily.
"I'm afraid because I know once I see his smile again time is going to stop and my breath is going to hitch in my throat. I know once I see the way his eyes twinkle when he talks about the things he loves again I'm going to get lost into the galaxy that lay behind those dilated pupils. I know once I see the way he tousles his hair in frustration when he's confused again I'm going to stare at him like he puts the stars in the sky. And I know for a god damn fact when I hear his laugh again I'm going to grow intoxicated off of such a noise filled with happiness because once upon a time that laugh was something I could cause. That smile was something I could cause with just my words. That sparkle in his eyes was something I could cause when we talked about the things we loved. I'm scared because I know that I'm going to fall for those things the way I did when I first met him. I'm scared because the wounds from the first fall have not healed and I don't know if I can take any more. I'm scared" I said looking a way, tears in my eyes.
