Say goodbye

Hey Batman,

It's taken me over 48 hours to decide whether I should even write this. I still don't know what to say, because I'm not used to not having you here to talk to face-to-face. But I know why you're away, and fucking hell, do you need it, babe. You're so broken and damaged, and my heart has felt like it was being ripped out by the roots because I couldn't do anything to stop the pain. Have we gotten weird since you started dating Caleb? Maybe it's just because I don't know him. He's a complete fucking stranger. I don't know how to talk to him. Is that wrong? You've slipped away from me, and that hurts.

But that doesn't mean you've stopped being a part of me. You're my partner in crime. For so long, it was just you and me against the world, and now I just feel so alone and you feel like you're a universe away. Are you? Have you come back to us at all, or are you still so lost and in pain? I miss you. There aren't enough words to say how much, but I do.

( I lost the baby, Z. It was a little boy, and we were going to call him Phoenix, for you... )

"I am trying my hardest not to act how I feel." - Unknown

Despite his best efforts to thwart the loneliness trying to engulf him, Miles was sitting on the beach alone with a bottle of beer, watching the sunset. His knees were drawn up, elbows resting on them as he gazed at the water lapping on the shore and took a swig from the bottle. He took his phone from his pocket and checked the screen. No messages. No missed calls. No notifications. Everyone was off doing their own life things. He didn't want to be that needy or clingy friend who called his friends up and disturbed their peaceful Friday evening on dates or resting from a hard week at work.

( Broken hearts were hard to mend. Not impossible, though sometimes it felt that way... )
