Stand By Me

My heart stopped when I walked through the door. There he stood in all his glory. My breath caught in my throat. I knew I still looked at him as if he put the stars in the sky. He turned to me and I put my head down instantly. "Hey Princess," He said ever so casually, I could sense the hidden hurt in his voice. "Hi," I said . I still couldn't talk to him like I used to. "Look, Sasha I" I interrupted. "I have to go, I'll see you later," I said my voice on the edge of cracking. I couldn't put myself through that again.
