Time

"I don't-" I stopped.

The humid air felt thicker and there was a lump forming in my throat. I couldn't tell if the salt that I was tasting was from the sea or from my tears.

"You don't, what?" He replied still not looking up at me.

Still not caring enough about me, or maybe this conversation, to look me in the eye.

"I don't know how to love you." I finished.

The silence was deadly. I couldn't help but let that voice into my head.

He's gonna explode. He is going to become the guy everyone warned me about. The ticking in my head started again. It was in time with every breath I took.
