Resurrected

"I miss you. I miss you so much it hurts", she sobbed quietly on the bench. Maybe she hoped I'd look for her and find her here. "Please..."

What happened to the strong icy queen I knew? She probably thawed because of me. Her soft cries tore at my chest but this couldn't go on for much longer.

I leaned on the tree I had been hiding behind, pulling my face into an expressionless mask. It was hard but worth it. "Why are you here? Haven't you gotten the hint that I don't want to be around you?" My own words stabbed my chest but I kept going. "Don't destroy yourself any longer and just leave". I turned to walk away but her harsh grip on my arm stopped me.

"You've walked away every single time. You don't get to do that now. I'll walk away from you. Do you hear me? I'm the one leaving!"

I didn't turn around, even after she took my heart with her. She was going to learn to be strong... without me.
