After Summer Ends

"Don't say it back please." His voice is begging, as his sad eyes shine in the evening light.
"Why not?" He cups my cheek with his hand and closes his eyes.
"Because, if I hear you say it then I won't be able to walk away." My eyes close thinking his warm lips will meet mine again, but when I open them, I notice the absence of his hand on my face and his figure retreating into the distance.
"I love you too" The words fade into air as they drift away.
