For Baltimore
"Kris, we have to do this. You know that," he whispered into my hair. I was curled into his chest, my acceptance letter sitting on the couch beside us. "You deserve to follow your dreams, too."
He was right. And I knew he was right. But the goodbyes were getting easier each time, and I was finally thinking maybe, just maybe, we could do this whole long distance thing. Then again, I was deceiving myself. Sure, I loved Alex, but he was right, neither of us were willing to give up our own dreams just to be with each other. We were both far too driven for that. His were already coming to life, and I didn't want him to feel guilty for being away so frequently.
I looked up at Alex through my eyelashes. "You're right. Is.. is this goodbye?"
He pulled me towards him and kissed my lips softly. "It's more of a see you around."
