Maybe it was the secrets we shared. Maybe he finally opened his eyes and saw me. By the time the sun rose, I'd lost him again, my heart shattering on his parting words: "It was a mistake." So I ran. Ran until I was thousands of miles away, in a country I didn't know, surrounded by people who only made me miss him more. I never expected him to follow me ... or to pry more secrets from my soul. In exchange, he gave me more of his secrets too. The more he let me into his heart, the more I loved him, but I'm afraid that some secrets may be too big to overcome.
