“ everyone has baggage . it’s not your fault if she couldnt handle it so dont think that.”
he decided to pat his shoulder back for a second before shrugging.
“ we can never be sure . if it’s not the same, who knows.”
“ yeah — maybe in another life.”
looking down at the thought of that.
“it’s her loss because you’re a great person and i strongly believe you deserve better.”
“ it doesnt make you bad . if it makes you bad then maybe it makes me a bad husband. because the feelings i hav— had for you were strong.”
he just took a drink from his drink as well . trying to shake off what he said .
“ it’s very hard.”
“ yeah well i felt the same way for you but maybe it was silly.”
he didnt know how he felt , but he definitely felt things still— even if now he couldnt .
“ i dont know— it’s not the same as many years ago.”
“i’ve also always cared about you deeply . always.”
he nodded at his words , still keeping his gaze on him .
“ yeah well— i didnt think you deserve any bad treatment. you dont deserve anything bad.”
“ i mean— im glad someone thinks so . you’ve always been so sweet to me.”
he’s giving a smile to the other man, nodding .
“ since always, really. even after everything.”
