broken promises

[travissarandos]

he has something to say
the boy breathes deep
slowly he begins to speak
stop
slow
no
he sighs, unable to continue
why is this so hard?
another minute ticks by
silence screams through the line
he regains composure
starts and stops again
no time like the present, he muses
but still no words
"i love you," she says, shattering the tension
a boy breaks down
all is not forgiven
