She said hello with a forced and painful smile, his eyes became glittery. She asked "How are you" with compassionate eyes, he remained silent, his eyes frozen and fixed on her. She again asked with hopeful eyes"Are you ok?" He said nothing but started starring at the ground as if he wants the ground to swallow him whole. She also started starring at the ground not knowing what to say. After a few minutes he looked up and then at her and with a blank look asked "Are you happy? " she looked at him and with a smile replied I am alright. A few glitters fell out from his eyes, she looked at him with pain and love filled eyes and he stared deep into her soul with blank eyes, He sighed and asked her with a curious look " Why did you leave me? " She answered with a heartwarming smile "Why was I not selfish enough to keep you all to myself ?"He bitterly chuckled and replied "maybe I was not good enough for you". She answered with a sad smile "You were far more than good enough for me, you were the bright light in my dark world. The problem was me and not you. You were too good for me and I don't deserve good things. All good things in life end rapidly and painfully. I learned it the hard way in my life. He bitterly replied " I never agreed with you on this but today this is what I believe as well. I was way too good for you. Maybe I shouldn't be this good anymore. A few glitters fell from her eyes. He wiped it and blankly with no emotions said "Don't cry this is what you chose and what I accepted along with the passing time, Goodbye, love"Saying this he started walking away and she with glitters flowing from her eyes stared at the disappearing figure and with a sad smile and low voice said " goodbye, my world".
