Worthless Rose

Because I'll be leaving soon, I'd feel really guilty to leave her all alone once again.

"I know I have to leave, soon, like real soon before my mum comes here to like actually chain me to a car. But I want you to know that good things always come back to the ones who do good. You don't seem like a bad person. And what do you know? It might just have been a big misunderstanding..."

She looks on at me, expressionless.

"My words might even be stupid at this moment because I need to take my own advice and I know it but..."

She does not let me finish and places her lips on mine in a soft, feathery kiss.

She shifts her lips to my ear and half hugs me, while whispering breathily into my ears...

"You nor your words are stupid and honest to God, you're a fine man. I can only do this because this is supposedly the last time we ever meet..."

I'm tongue tied for a second.
