I don’t remember how long
We stood there silent
Before he turned and left
Along with our gathered audience
I faced you
Leaning my forehead against yours
Don’t—
Please, don’t cry anymore
You don’t have to explain anything
I said
Trying to gage all the emotions
Dancing in your dark brown eyes
I’m sorry
You said with a wavering voice
I know
I replied, trying to comfort you
When I knew you still had things to say
Get off your chest
Clear out your stuffed head
No, you don’t
You tried to explain as new tears began down your face
I want to tell you—
To explain……..
I don’t know how to in so many words
Because you mean everything to me
More than you think you know or believe
This thing I’m going through affects me—badly
And I can’t bear to see you hurt
I won’t
So, I think it would be best—
I knew what you were going to say
We can’t do this anymore
Me and you
It wouldn't work
I couldn't quite wrap my head around that
Don’t you dare say that
I’m here for you
And not because I have to
But because I want to
I love you
It’s enough
It always has been
You must see that
I know you do
So get it through
That stubborn and thick head of yours
You let out that breathy laugh
And I smile on accord
Both of us wiping our tears away
Me and You
Got it?
You shook your head in agreement
Very smart man
I said leaning my forehead against yours
Learning right from the start
—I've been trained by the best
Right then, did you realize
That was just the incipient part of our lives
Did you realize that?
I knew right then in that moment
After all the chaos had wound down
Me and you standing there
We’d be fine
It wouldn't be easy
We’d be tested time and again
But in the end, we’d be okay
Alright
Don’t you think?
