I'm Afraid

Damn him. She thought as she logged off and began to gather her things to go home.
This is not what it should be like.
They were close. They needed to stay close. They lifted one another all the time.
They were connected in ways they both did not understand but they did need each other.
So why the distance. Why?

The tears threatened and she growled at herself. Stop it. No tears. Not here.

A day went by and he did not say a word.
Her heart began to crumble inward.
What happened?
The tears did dot her lashes and streaked her face.

She ached for him. The ache went down to her soul and she knew he felt it too.

Finally she gave in. Her heart twisted, her stomach flipped at the fear she felt.
The fear that he has gone away forever.

She texted to him.
I'm afraid we'll be one of the ones who miss each other their entire life.
Let's not do this. Please.

Nothing came back. She closed her eyes and fell asleep on top of the blankets.
Then he phone buzzed at midnight.
The text said.
Then let's not do that. I am coming over now.

Her heart hammered in her chest as she waited.
When he pulled up she ran to him.
She did not care that she had never been in his arms.
She did not care who saw her fling herself into his embrace.
All she knew is that he caught her up in his arms and hugged her tightly.
She heard him mutter softly against her hair, never leaving you little one.
Her gaze lifted to meet his and she said, "Truth?"
He nodded. "Truth."
"Ah...thank the Goddess." She breathed then cupped his cheeks in her hands to pull him down for their first of many kisses.
