"do you regret it?"
"what?"
"I don't know" her voice shook "everything."
he was quiet for a long moment
heat flooded her cheeks
she opened her mouth to tell him to forget she asked but
finally he said
"just because I left doesn't mean you weren't the best thing that ever happened to me - you sure were"
she laughed
tears flooded her eyes
"you know you've said that before
you know you've said that before you left
much more than a million times &
if it ever had been true
back then
or now
you wouldn't have left at all."
