Forgotten

Him: You know I love you

Her: That's why you can't leave

Him: That's why I have to

Her: I don't understand

Him: You have a successful life ahead of you. You're so smart. So strong. So capable. I can't hold you down. I can't hold you back. You have to leave me behind so you can be happy.

Her: You're the reason I am all those things. You're the reason I'm happy. You're the reason I strive to be great.

Him: I can't stay here and you can't follow me and I can't follow you

Her: You'll forget about me

Him: Death can't make me forget about you

~Ten years later~

Her: Hey! It's me.

Him: Who are you?
