and i do...

"i miss you," i whispered.

"i know. believe me. i know. it's like you've taken half my self with you."

"come and get it then." i challenged.

"soon, as soon as i possibly can. i will make you safe first." his voice was hard.

"i love you." i reminded him.

"could you believe that, despite everything i've put you through, i love you, too?"

"yes, i can actually."

"i'll come for you soon."

"i'll be waiting."

as soon as the phone went dead, the cloud of depression began to creep over me again.
