Life always has to get in the way, and sometimes parting ways is inevitable, even if it feels like tearing a piece of ourselves apart.
I look into her eyes, imprinting her image in my mind.
With a final, lingering gaze, I muster a smile, hoping to convey my gratitude for the moments we’ve shared in the past weeks.
“I’ll see you soon,” I tell her.
“Promise?”
“I promise.” The vow rolls off my tongue easily.
I stand there, a whirlwind of emotions engulfs my mind. Thoughts race through my head, making it difficult to articulate my feelings. I wish I could just pick her up in my arms and kiss her.
Tell her I like her, but I refrain.
What good would that do?
In that fleeting moment, I find myself captivated by Vio’s presence, absorbing every detail. Her radiant smile, the twinkle in her eyes, and her laughter that creates an imprint on my memory, etching a vivid picture I hope to recall time and again.
Then I turn away, taking each step with a mix of sadness and determination.
While my mind may swim with questions, my heart pulses with hope.
Parting ways with Vio means relinquishing the warmth of her presence, the comfort of the interactions. I want to express my true emotion, how obsessed I am with her. But the fear of letting my father down holds me back. The weight of unspoken words hangs heavily in the air as my back is faced toward her.
A man opens the door for me. Marrisa is in the seat, waiting patiently on her phone. She looks up once my presence is known.
I smile at her softly and she returns it.
Once I’m in the car, the door is promptly shut beside me.
Marrisa goes back to scrolling through her phone, meaning she isn’t focused on me. I look over at where Vio is standing, watching the car closely and waiting for it to move.
The driver turns the ignition on, and I watch her fade into the distance. My heart sinks immediately.
Who knew that I was so clingy?
I was never this way with Marrisa in the two years of our relationship. Marrisa complained to me about it for so long.
I’ve always been independent, and not needing a person like a drug has helped me get my priorities straight.
I’m not the jealous or separation anxious type of person, but with Vio, I’m everything I never expected myself to become.
I’m addicted.
I long to hold her every minute of every day, to feel the warmth of her embrace and her touch. But reality mocks my desires, reminding me of the distance that separates us.
Circumstance.
