"Look down deep, into the soul I know you have, and tell me if what you feel for me is real, or if it's just a game. If it's real, we'll figure it out... But if it's not, then please, just let me go." Her eyes were now moist with tears as she held onto his arm; looking pleadingly into his dark brown orbs. Half of her was afraid of his answer, but half of her wanted to be strong enough to stand up for herself.

"Thank you." She said, almost a whisper as she excused herself and walked away, leaving the man behind. She cupped as she exited the cafe.

"Because I love her and I can't make her happy."
