Hi,

Never have I ever had someone to talk to about anything and everything. Never have I ever been hugged so tight that all my broken pieces seem to come together. Never have I ever felt so human. So thank you. For making me feel and believe. I hope I helped you in some way too. You kinda wanna make me stay. To just lay there beside you and wonder what it is to be with someone other than myself. But I can't. I am sorry I am just another person to leave you, I truly am sorry.

"Find someone better than the girl who thinks I am worthy? Who made me laugh in the dead of the night about things I don't even remember because I was so caught up in her smile? I don't think so. Don't leave me with any secrets. Stay and I will uncover them someday. Please?"

With every word, a piece of her broke and fell. She didn't know how people survived by leaving the comfort of others, or with it. Both seemed so impossible.

"I can't," was all she managed to say.

"Can't what?"

In that moment, she knew what she had to do. Love broke people. And she could already see herself falling in love with the first person who cared.

She mumbled out a hasty "Sorry" and rushed out of the apartment, leaving every last piece of herself with a stranger who had managed to make her soul smile. She had no more secrets to give.
