For her.
CAPRI
The immediate relief I felt when he kissed me with such passion and devotion was like nothing I could describe. It was as if my world was back in place, and everything was as it should be. I lost myself in that kiss.
There.
With him.
I knew we were only twenty-two, but we could do anything together. We could conquer the world. I didn’t care about money or our plans and goals.
All I needed was him.
We talked about our future more times than I could remember, but when this job suddenly appeared right after graduation, we didn’t have enough time to prepare for it. It didn’t matter how many talks we had about our future and why he had to take this job. They seemed good in theory, but the reality of it was…
I’d live in a shack with him if I had to. I’d clip coupons and live on a budget. I’d eat ramen noodles and work two jobs if it kept us together. However, my parents would never let me struggle, and I knew a huge part of him knew that too. Which was why he was refusing their help.
Elias’s pride was his biggest strength and his greatest weakness. His determination would get him far, that much I was positive of. I knew he’d make all his dreams come true. It was how he was made. When he set his mind to something, he’d make it happen, no matter what or who tried to block him.
Since he told me he was moving, I tried to remember that we weren’t breaking up and we would make the long-distance thing work. A part of me wanted to move with him, but I had my own dreams too. There was so much I wanted to accomplish. I just never imagined it would be without him.
For a few seconds, I wholeheartedly thought I was getting through to him. That he was going to choose us in the end, and this would be the beginning of our fairy tale.
“I love you…” he murmured, kissing away my tears. “You’re mine.”
“You promise?”
“Always.”
“You swear.”
“Forever.”
It wasn’t until he stated, “It’s just three years,” that my heart burst into a million pieces.
I lost.
“I have to go, beauty. I’m going to miss my flight.”
Maybe in another life, we could have gone the distance.
Maybe he was my right person but not my right time and vice versa.
Maybe the stars weren’t aligned for us.
Maybe we never had a future, only dreams that would eventually become my worst nightmares.
Maybe we weren’t meant to be.
Maybe…
Maybe…
Maybe…
We said “I love you and goodbye” at the same time, and I knew right then that this was the beginning of the end for us.
Because eventually, we’d never say hello again.
