• I stood still as a statue. My eyes fixed on the figure ahead of me coming closer in slow movements. I knew who it was... As he walked under the streetlight my heart started breaking all over again. I tightened my muscles and closed my eyes so I wouldn't start crying and run into his arms. He looked at me and studied my face with an expression that was sad, pitiful, angry, soft and longing all in one. He started speaking softly to me like I was a wild animal he was trying to get to eat from his hand. I tried to block out what he was saying. From my experience, everything he was saying was a lie. But... that was my mind, not my heart, I started shaking when he said 'I never wanted this to happen. Forgive me...I...I... Love....' a million thoughts ran through my mind. My fear and pain were flushed with anger. " I'LL NEVER FORGIVE YOU! EVERYTHING YOU DID WAS HORRIBLE! If you really loved me you wouldn't have done this." I yelled at him, sobbing inside. He stood there in the darkness again, someone I didn't know anymore. He wasn't the loving, caring and gentle person I knew. He had changed and become someone who lurked in the shadows, all because of a disrespectful woman.... I tried to hold myself up as I shoke vigorously inside my wool coat and laced up boots. He was in complete darkness, but I could tell what he was going to do next. I knew what I had to do to keep my heart together... I tried to get the words out, but when he stepped in the light again with pain and regret written all over his face, I broke down. My legs failed and I was lying face down crying. He was pale and frozen. As the colour came back, he began to help me up with that same look plastered on his face. I still knew what I needed to do to avoid the immense pain. I told myself, he doesn't mean it, don't believe him. I sprang up strongly and stiffly. He jumped back in the darkness. I was alone in the light. I closed my eyes and regained confidence. " I NEVER WANT TO SEE YOU AGAIN! You've shown me very clearly how much you loathe me. I UNDERSTAND! And you've also shown me all the things I HATE about you!"
    I closed my eyes again and tryed not to break down again. I heard a quiet gasp and a couple sobs. I knew what happened... I won. I felt strong. Tears were rolling down my face and quickly advancing. I wouldn't let him win. I ran into the darkness quickly, not looking back.
    The water shimmered and glowed in the moonlight. I was safe here, only I had the courage to come here since the 'incident'. He would never have the guts to come here. I relaxed my jaw and let the tears run freely. I found my way to the bench where we had our first kiss. He couldn't stand in a 1mile radius of this bench. Perfect. I sat down barely able to see what's around me through my tears. I smile at the cool fall breeze and the gentle orchestra of the night. The stars twinkle and sparkle. The waves swish and hit rocks silently yet strongly. I listen carefully. You can hear every rustling leaf that is on the treenext to you. I feel at peace and finally stop crying. A small voice that seems to belong to the wind seems to whisper, You Love Him I spin around. All the feelings and emotions I felt for him flooded in me, I was overwhelmed with how much I wanted to be with him. I realize my huge mistake. He does love me, if he can still try to hang on to me after all this then he really loves me. My happiness fades when I realize that it could be too late. I have made him cry and break. My heart stops and I realize that I'm retreating in the shadows like him... I turn around and run aimlessly through the paths. I almost run right into him as he walks to the bench where I was sitting. His body is only a cm away. I only need 2 sentences to make him understand. " It's all true, what you said. I've realized why I loved you... why you loved me." And he softly touched my lips with his fingers and whispered "That's all I needed..." He pressed his gentle lips to mine and we stood there with the orchestra singing around us and the moonlight on our faces, kissing in a perfect moment...
