One Piece
Description
"Please don't make this any harder then it needs to be."
"Then just stay." Tears rolled down my cheeks as he held a tight grip on to my wrist. "Why do you want to leave?"
"Because I don't want to stay just so I can pick up the pieces of my heart in the end again." His grip on my wrist loosened, but he continued to hang on.
"I don't want to let you go."
"And I don't want to leave, but there's nothing here for me anymore."
"Nothing? I will hold on to one piece of your heart forever so that someday you'll come back to me..." And with that he let go of my wrist, leaving me the obligation to walk through the open door.
Foreword
"Sometimes I think the human heart is just a simple shelf. There's only so much you can pile onto it before something falls of the edge and you are left to pick up the pieces."
-From House Rules by Jodi Picoult
In Chinese, there are two characters for Goodbye. One means the literal "Goodbye."
The other means "We'll Meet Again."
