You

You held my hand as the cold fall air moved around us. I turned my head and gazed into your sad eyes. All the hurt in them shined down on me as the smile fell from my face.

You said, "There is somthing I need to ask you but I don't know how."

I nervously blinked as I said, "You can tell me anything. I'm right here."

Turning, you dropped my hand and took a deep breath, "It's just-. I brought you up here to ask you this one thing because I think you're keeping somthing from me."

I grabbed your arm and spun you around. I laughed nervously as I felt this trickle of shame start to build up, "What are you talking about? What would I be keeping from you?"

You grabbed both of my arms and leaned in close. You asked the one thing I never thought you would ever think of. You inhaled for just one moment then exhaled asking me, "Are we together because you love me or because you are lonely?"
