She looked at him and whispered "This is a path that I'm afraid I must travel alone. Do I love you? Yes. Can I live without you? We'll both find out." With tears in her eyes she held on to him one last time, inhaling the scent of him willing it to memory knowing it would have to last her a lifetime. "Maybe I'll get over you or maybe you will be the man I tell my grand daughter about. Maybe the universe will bring us again in 1 years at a time that's right for both of us but in this moment, this isn't our time. In this moment, love feels like a stake piercing through the very depths of me. Loving you is like trying to rescue you from drowning when we both know that I can't swim. So this isn't goodbye... it's see you... see you in 5 years when we're both ready for each other. When you can love me as I love you or see you 50 years from now when you appear in my memories when she asks me about you.
