"I lo..love you."
My tone was hoarse, laden with despair and hope. Hope for his passion and devotion, a grasp of tranquility only he can bring. A smirk appeared on his lips, but it made him look empty, void of sentiments. His emerald eyes stared at me with scorn and resentment, but I could see a hint of melancholy.
His mirthless eyes peered at me, marking my heart with pain and anguish.
"Listen to me, please. I won't intrude in your life ever again. Give me a chance."
My broken voice a dejected quiver, light and pale as the wind.
"No, Galilea. No."
Tears tumbled down my eyes, shaping trails on my cheeks. My confidence shattered as his voice still so deep lashed my heart with a vengeance. He was a hint of color in my gray life; he washed me in his hues and now I don't even remember myself.
"Ok... Okay."
His eyes snapped up to mine. They looked perplexed, with anger simmering at the edges. Why is he angry?
I don't care anymore. I already lost my love, but I won't lose my self-respect.
My love for him is fascinating yet tranquil, but I won't impose myself on him. My love isn't shallow, it is as deep as a vast chasm. And I realize I have to let him go. It was easy for him but to me; it feels like my heart is being torn apart.
"I wish you a good life with my sister, Jay. I won't pester you with my affections anymore."
I traced his face with my eyes for the last time, every freckle on his nose, the scar littering his eyebrow, the mole under his left eye. This will mark an end to my memories with him because after this moment I won't pine after him anymore. I cherished him, but he wasn't the one for me.
"Lea, I think you should leave."
I could hear the urgency in his voice.
"Goodbye Jay."
A goodbye he would always regret.
