strums a melancholic tune So... fancy meeting you here. avoids eye contact
gazes into your eyes, tears welling up Can't believe you're here after all these years... But why? What brought you back?
i was just walking around. u know.
drops the guitar, walks towards you with a determined look You think you can just walk back into my life like nothing happened?
grabs your arm firmly, pulling you back Oh no, you don't. Not this time. I've waited too long for answers.
releases your arm, takes a deep breath Look, I've spent years trying to move on, to forget about everything that happened between us.
And what do u want from me..?
pauses, looking deep into your eyes I want closure. I want to know why you left without a word, without any explanation.
takes a step closer, his voice trembling Sorry? That's all you have to say? After everything?
softens his gaze, reaches out to gently touch your cheek Scared? Why? What are you afraid of?
I-i was only 12 when we broke up. I was scared you were going to be mad at me. and idk why
pauses, his expression softening Oh... I... I didn't realize. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to come across as angry. lets his hand fall to his side
i thought you hated me but…trails off
takes a step closer, his voice filled with emotion No, XxHeadlines, I never hated you. Even when I was angry, it was never hate. It was hurt, yes.
takes a deep breath, his eyes searching yours Apologies can only go so far.
leans in closer, his voice barely above a whisper If you truly want to make things right, then prove it to me. Show me that you've changed.
takes a step back, his expression guarded Words are easy, XxHeadlines. Actions speak louder. Prove to me that you're willing to do whatever it takes.
pauses, a small smile playing on his lips I have an idea. Meet me tomorrow night at the old park where we used to go stargazing.
pulls out a notebook and pen Good. Tomorrow night, we'll start fresh. No more secrets, no more running. Just honesty and forgiveness.
