Day Twenty-Seven: Can You Hear Me?
I was so excited when Frankie got back.
He actually appeared happy to be around me.
“Gerard. You know we need to talk.”
Those words hurt me. Cut right through me.
“I know. I was hoping we could just start over.”
“Oh baby, I’d love to but you hurt me really bad.
Can you hear me?
Do you understand me?
Do you know what that felt like?”
“Like someone took your heart and cut it with a thousand tiny daggers.”
He pauses looking at me.
“Actually yes, Just like that."
“That’s how I felt when you never came back.”
“Oh.”
