I'm Sorry, I Can't Let You Leave

I got up to see someone I thought I wouldnt in a long time.
"Kaitlin! What are you doing here?"
"Well, I thought Id say hi. Im in town for a few days, and then we go on tour again."
I smiled.
We had a relationship.
Once.
Then, she went on tour with her band, and I went on tour with mine.
We talked occasionally on the phone, but that was about it.
"Oh, and to give this back to you."
She handed me my spare house key.
"No. You keep it. You know I dont mind you coming in whenever."
"Well, thats the problem."
I gave her a questioning look.
"I wont be coming back."
"Im moving to North Carolina."
"What? Why?"
"Cus everyone else in my band thinks it would be easier to live there instead of here."
"And I dont think Im coming back..."
"Oh..."
"So this is hello... and goodbye."
I looked up at her gaze.
I always gave in to those eyes.
"Dont go..."
"I have to."
At that she walked out of the room.
I followed.
"Where are you going now?" I asked putting on a shirt.
"To tell the others."
"Ill go with you. Maybe we cn grab some coffee on the way back."
"I dont live near a coffee shop."
"Wow. You havent been here in a while."
She laughed.
"Okay... so. Ill go with you to say goodbye to the others, and then well head back to your place, and Ill help you pack."
"Frank... That sounds awesomeness!"
I love that word. She used to use it all the time...
Awesomeness...
We stopped by Gerard's, Mikey's, Ray's, and then Bob's.
"Coffee?"
"Yes!"
We got some at a near-by Starbucks and then headed twords her apartment.
----
"I dont want you to go."
"I know.... But I have to..."
We were all at her place now. Saying goobye to her.
The guys couldnt let her go without another hug.
We were all very close to her.
But Kaitlin and I were the closest.
We had been together for three years.
Until we both had to go.
Then we decided it would be better if we just split up.
I gave her one last hug.
"Bye Frank Iero."
"Kaitlin...."
We pulled away.
And the taxi drove to the airport.
"Frank. Dude. Youre really gonna just let her go?"
"I dont have another choice, Ray."
"Yes, you do." Mikey helped.
"No."
"Yes."
"No. I want whats best for her. I want her to be happy."
Gerard helped this time. "Cant you see that she IsNt happy! That isnt whats best for her! You two being togetther is the best. Shes happy with you. Dont you understand?"
"Shit." I said finally getting it.
I called a cab, and told the driver to go to the airport. And fast.
I just hoped I didnt miss her.
---
I arrived at the airport in about ten minutes.
I paid the driver double for getting there fast.
Even though, it was a ten minute walk there. If you knew the short-cuts.
I walked in, and imediatly found what gait she would be at.
I searched the crowd.
She wasnt there.
But I couldnt let her get on the plane.
"Jack!" Her band-mate didnt turn.
"Crash Master!" I tried again.
This time he turned.
"Frank! What are you doing here?"
"Looking for Kaitlin."
"She already went through."
I sighed. I couldnt tell her to stop anymore.
"You can try to call her. She might hear you."
"Thanks man."
I searched the crowd looking for her."
Again.
But this time, I spotted her.
"Kaitlin!"
"Frank?"
"I cant let you go."
Tears filled her eyes.
"I was hoping youd say that."
