Don't

"Don't," he started to say. "Please, don't."
"I just--- I just can't," she replied. "E-everyone's knowing it, I don't---"
"Please. I-I can't lose you," he said as he fell on his knees.

He was begging for her to stay. She did her best to not look at him. She said, "They say that if you really love someone, you should learn and eventually let go."

It struck him faster than a lightning bolt. He has then realized that he didn't really love her enough to let her go.

"No," he cried. He stayed on his knees, still hoping for her to take what she has said back.
"Stand up. Stand up and go."
"Wasn't it worth it? All of it?" He asked as he stood up. He was furious, he didn't understand why, but he was.

She faced him. The make-up was starting to fall off of her beautiful face. Sadness filled her eyes as she saw how hurt he looked like. "Of course it was," she wanted to say. All she wanted to say will never be said as all she wants is the best for him.

"It is worth it, right?" He said as he tried to keep his balance. Knowing that she cried is something he couldn't bear. And right now, she is crying in front of him, he started to feel like his world is falling apart. She shook her head and wiped her tears away, "It was worth i, it's just not 'is' anymore. It was, not it is."

And in that moment, he felt like his soul, his brain, and his heart were torn out of him. He stared at her, not saying a word even if he wanted to say a lot. He wasn't convinced, he knew there's something wrong. He knows it's still 'is'. He knows it'll never be 'was',

"It'll never be 'was'," he finally managed to say, "it's always 'is'. Nothing will change it."
