He shrugs and leans forward to kiss her on the cheek this time, grinning as he pulled away slightly, teasing by purposefully not taking her lips this time.
Tears were about to fall as he looked her in the eyes. She fought a lot against them. But in the end, she couldn’t stop them from falling.
“I…I wouldn’t care….about that…..I already know…for many years…that my first love will never feel the same….So there’s no reason to keep loving him…And I’m always…so happy when I’m with you….”
