No. It couldn't be, at least I didn't want it to be but I knew it was. I knew that voice, I fell in love with that voice. I stood still hoping that I could avoid him forever, that he wouldn't try but I knew he would.
"Turn around, please."
I could hear the desperation in his voice, and it hurt, it truly hurt. I wanted to run far away, I wanted to run to the ends of the earth just to not have this conversation, to not see him and everything I left, to see the pain I caused him enable to keep him safe.
