" I love you so much it physically pains me. It hurts every part of my soul, that I can't sleep at night without breaking down, that I can't breathe without my lungs feeling like they're being ripped apart. I need you. I need you so bad that I don't think I can live without you." Silent tears rolled down his stubbled cheeks.
The rain against the window was the only thing that could be heard right now.
Without thinking I ran and jumped into his arms, painful sobs ripping through me as I dug my face into his shoulder. He squeezed me closer as if I might disappear, as if this was a figment of his imagination.
"I'm sorry," I sobbed, "I'm so sorry."
