your and emily’s relationship was confusing. you weren’t technically together, but you practically acted like you were married.

you could never truly be with her though. she wasn’t the kind of person who liked being tied down to one person/place.

however, even when she would leave, no matter how long it was for, she knew she always had a home with you. you could never turn her away.

you were curled in her arms right now, her hand gently running through your hair “honey, tomorrow, i have to-“ you quieted her with a soft kiss

“emily, all i ask is that for tonight, we live in the moment. just hold me okay?”

“i’m gonna be gone for a while. a long while.” she admitted softly

you knew this was coming. you didn’t even want her to tell you the truth. it hurt too much to hear it. who were you supposed to go to while she was gone? you weren’t capable of loving anyone how you loved her
