I think in the end, you would have stayed with me, out of obligation...or maybe comfort. Maybe I was safe to you, and you needed to feel that. I know how scared you get of the unknown. To you...I must be kind of a security blanket. Do you see now, how that doesn't work for me? I don't want to be there, simply because the idea of me being gone is too...scary. I want to be someone's everything. I want fire and passion, and love that's returned, equally. I want to be someone's heart... Even if it means breaking my own.

I love you more. I love you enough to let you go and live your dream. I tilted my head and shrugged. Don't you see....? I love you more.He smiled softly and I brushed some hair off his forehead. Running the backs of my fingers down his cheek, I whispered, And, yes, I will miss you, more than you could possibly imagine, but I know that you have to do this Kellan. And you know it too.Stubbornly he shook his head. No, I know that I have to be with you. Everything else is just .... details.

I know...and I love you. But I don't think we love each other in the same way. And...I think keeping you near me, would destroy me.

It was heartfelt, it was heartbreaking. It was extreme joy, it was bone-crushing grief. It was fiery hot, it was icy-cold. It was true love sprouting... it was true love dying.It's like we were both trying to hold onto something that was slipping through our fingers, and we didn't understand why.
