"but why?", she asked with her teary eyes.

"I do love you. I just can't... I don't know how to love your all...", he answered without looking into her eyes.

Her heart shattered, then she smiled.

"You never did. Don't you?"

There was nothing left for him to say.
She approached him, and hugged him slowly. She looked into his eyes and softly said,

"It's okay. You don't have to explain." and she kissed him on his cheek.

He stood quietly, still, as she released him from her embrace,
and the air felt cold.

The girl turned around and walked away. It's over.


"I'm sorry."

"It felt so real."
