"Your gorgeous" He said.
"Not a day goes by where your not on my mind" He drew out a long sigh.
"I want you more then you know, but you know we can't. It would never work. Your almost 2,000 miles away." The tears welled up in my eyes.
"Your perfect, and I want you and only you. I love every single thing about you. Your the most lovable girl I've ever talked too. You never fail to amaze me, and I want you to know that even if I find someone, I'm still here." I took a good look at the person I had relied on for almost a month. I couldn't bear the pain any longer.
"We'll be fine, I'll get over it."
"Don't say that, I'm not going anywhere."
"I swear, I'll be fine, Live your life, and don't look at me."
"Stop saying that."
"I mean it, you don't need me."
"Stop saying that, I already told you"
"I can't, I'm going to go." I clicked the red end call button that sat in its usual place at the bottom of my screen. The tears began to fall from my face. The constant downpour that i was used too. My heart was shattered into a million pieces, and I had no clue what to do.
