Stay

"Why?" I ask him 

"Why did you stay if you were bound to leave" he stays silent his eyes glaze over mine 

But I continue trying to comprehend where did it all go wrong ?

" I know t-that everyone leaves because it's the cycle of life.. You live and you die..." My voice wavers ever so softly , I don't sound like myself ," but you promised me your forever .." he flinches as if I physically hurt him . He looks deep into my eyes and I know he is barely hanging on there but then like always replaces it with his poker face no emotion what's so ever and replies "My forever doesn't mean eternity it just means I will stay longer than I would that's my promise"

My voice finally breaks "Then why stay if you weren't meant to be loved?"
