blankets as I watch him expectantly, with a heavy heart.
He sits on the edge of the bed and leans down and gives me a slow and tender kiss that just about unravels me. It’s meant to be our last kiss.
“Goodbye, Sophie,” he whispers out into my darkened room. I hear a voice in my head yelling “don’t go”, but the words don’t pass my lips. I don’t want him to leave, my whole body aches and I swallow back my tears that are threatening to roll down my cheeks. Stop him Sophie, but I don’t. I can hear the voices in my head, willing me to stop him, but I keep my lips closed tightly together. I’m going to let him make the choice, leave our destiny in his hands. He trails his hand slowly down my body as if to commit it to memory. I know that’s what he’s doing. Then he stands up still looking at me, waiting for me to stop him, to say something. But all I can do is hold back my tears until he leaves and remind myself that this is for the best. Go now Marcus; I don’t want you to see me shed a single tear.
He turns on his heel and walks out of my bedroom and I hear my front door open and close as he leaves my apartment never looking back.
