Standing the Test of Time

"I know I was so stupid begging you to come back, but that was because I honestly thought I'd still have a chance. But now, don't worry I won't bother you anymore. This could be the last time we'll ever see each other again, so I want us to end in good terms, with no hard feelings."

I hate my tears for falling non-stop. But I need to let this all out. Otherwise, I won't be able to move forward. I have to let it all out. It's now or never.

"Jace, please know that I am not mad at you, I never could get mad especially with you. You will always have a special place in my heart. From the day we met, all I wanted for you was to be happy, to always see that cheeky grin of yours everyday...

...because as long as you are happy, anything is fine with me." This time I looked at Ashley, and her tiny baby bump. They're starting a family.

Ashley was just quiet, but she was looking at me softly. It's hard to get mad at her because she's a lovely person.

I breathed deeply as I wiped my tears. His eyes were still on me. I wasn't expecting him to answer me or say anything, but he did...with 3 words. Three freaking words that tore me down again and led me back to square one of grieving...

"Are you done?"
