His chest rose and fell with each breath he took. 282Please respect copyright.PENANAucq58q2zOH
He was gorgeous, and I was crying and everything about him was right and everything about me was so, so wrong. 282Please respect copyright.PENANAjr9eKvP0Nb
His eyelids fluttered, but he was still asleep. 282Please respect copyright.PENANAFFmzb16J3f
My heart broke as the memories washed over me like the tide, and I kept trying to pick up the shattered pieces. 282Please respect copyright.PENANA7cfVhbBJPe
Every time I'm ready, I'm afraid he'll change his mind. I hate it when he leaves, but I tell him - and myself - that it's fine.282Please respect copyright.PENANAVXyfB6B7Bo
I've already forgiven him for everything in the past, but God knows I can't forget. He leaned his head against my shoulder and a sob caught in my throat. 282Please respect copyright.PENANA2wANrtlvso
I need more time, my love.
I felt her shaking as I pretended to be sound asleep. She was hurting still, but she wouldn't show it for fear I'd change my mind.
Everything I'd ever done to her piled up on me, threatening to drown me in their sheer number, and tears slipped out of my closed eyes.
Her hand gently brushed my hair aside, and she tenderly kissed my cheek.
I just want to make it better piece by piece.
I'll love you till the world ends, my love.
He opened his eyes, and I knew he'd never been asleep in the first place. Tears were still coursing down my cheeks. I didn't have to say anything, he just held out his arms and I collapsed.
"Hush, darling, I'm here."
My lips gently sealed over hers. My veins burned hot within me; the skin where her fingers touched felt like it was on fire.
This pain was beautiful. It assured me she loved me, and I hope it did the same for her.
It must have, because she was clawing at my back, trying to get closer to me. She dragged her lips down my neck, murmuring.
"It hurts. Arden, this hurts so bad."
I smiled and caressed her head. "Only love can hurt like this."
