When she saw that sweet face turn to her with a smile, she wondered: how long would it last, how long could she keep up with her sweet smile, and how long until it all ended? Lia had many things on her mind.

There were many fears, many regrets, and many moments she wanted to just go back and make the right choice.

Lia closed her eyes slowly as her wife gently lifted her hand up to caress Lia’s cheek.

Lia held her hand gently but tightly and watched the scene that she didn’t want to see happen.

How long did Lia go without giving her what she really deserved?

How much could Lia have done for her? She slowly pulled her wife’s hand close to her mouth and kissed it, gently putting it back on the bed again. But even so, she couldn’t let her hand go.

It was too hard to see her go like this.

So many things that she could not do…

She would never let her go alone…

Not this time…
