THREE

In the name of Allah.

I want to run away
"I will run with you"


I want to die
"I'll keep you on the phone with me, I'll keep you laughing at my stupid jokes that you'll forget  
         even the smallest reasons to die and find a gazillions more reasons to live"


It's so hard, it's too hard, too painful
"I'll stay with you"


Why, you'll regret it one day
"I love you, even if my body vanishes, my soul will seek you forever"


Don't leave me
"I promise"


Even the hardest times were bearable, the toughest things were never so tough at all when he's with her. He painted the dull shades in her sky into the most beautiful colours. She learnt what happiness is and how it felt to have it in her palms, she gripped so tight no one dared to take it away from her. How could she ever have any idea that what she's come to love is going to rip herself back one day. Nope, she never knew. She never knew. This angel of hers has always been there for her, to wipe her tears, to lend his shoulders when she needed someone, to share her laughter and sadness, to fight all her fears, to just be there for her. How could she ever know? He's become a part of herself, the part that has put her back to life. How could she ever know?
