“And I told you last night that they should have never done that.”


“I don’t think they are to blame, T. Because they made me realize that it’s true. No matter what happens to us, my love for you will always be here.” I place my hand over my chest. 

“So you admit you’re still in love with me?”

“I never stopped loving you. You left me, remember? You left me for someone else.”

“I know that I hurt you.”

“Then how do you expect me to react when you asked me that question and I never had a chance to truthfully answer you.”

“You could have called me up? Maybe you could have been like “Yeah Tina, we should talk about what happened?” instead of doing it on your time. Like you always do, Bette.”

“Don’t make this out to be like it is all my fault. You’re the one that could have done the same. You asked the question. Did you expect me not to answer, at all?” 

Our body language starts to heat.

“How couldn’t I have asked if you were still in love with me? It’s clearly written all over your face, Bette.”

“And I can see it slightly written over your face.”

“That’s not the point.”

“Then tell me what is?”

“God damn it, Bette. I’m in love with you too, OK.” Her voice raises higher.

My heart sinks in my chest; feeling as if it fell to my feet. But not in a bad way, in a way that my heart starts to flutter. After silence from my body completely taking over my mind I respond. “I love only you, Tina. I will forever be in love with you.”

“Then do a better job at it, Bette.”

I feel the air swift slightly past me as her body walks out the front door without another word.

I stand there barely feeling my legs. I back myself up until I feel my sofa and slam my body onto it. My body and mind are fighting a battle that my heart cannot handle.

Her words rush through my head, our memories together sink in deeper than ever before realizing new memories are a possibility.

I wasn’t finished talking but I guess she was. I know I have to give her time and space but I just want her so badly. Her touch, the taste of her lips, all things I have yearned for so dearly.
