"My hearts a flame, and it's burning in your name

Even through the sands of time, "

"My love will always go."

"And I won't let go."

It was awhile, but my body was in a moving vehicle; my eyes out the window as I wonder what was coming next. I leaned my head against the window as the rain drops ran down the glass. I sniffled as I stared out the window, my eyes blurred from the tears that were threatening to fall. My body felt weak and I did what I could not to cry. I was no longer in the rain. I was in the car with Yixing, who beside me was driving silently.

I loved Kai, but to go back to the same person who broke my trust was just asking for more pain. I was heartbroken, but I wasn’t stupid. I knew what was good for me, and the logical part of me was the reason why I didn’t regret turning my back to Kai and walking towards Yixing.

“No.” He cut me off. “I’m the one keeping myself around you.”

Yixing dragged his gaze and I turned, our eyes locking. His smile was gentle and calm, and almost immediately I felt a sudden peace. Yixing wasn’t like Kai. With Kai, I had passion for him. The way I loved him so aggressively, the way I showed him I understood, the way I opened up every part of myself to him. But with Yixing, it was like he could slow down the world for me and suddenly I could think clearly.
