We Can't.

Info

He loves me, he loves me not. He loves me, he loves me not. He loves me...

"He loves me not." I murmured disappointed by the last sunflower petal left. I let out a heavy sigh for I know that the one I love doesn't love me back and will never be.

"I love you." said a familiar voice coming from behind. I looked at my back and saw him approaching me.

"He doesn't love you but I do." he said as he sat next to me. Then, the silence came. Just the sound of the river flowing and the wind blowing were heard at the time.

I looked at him and he looked at me with those painful eyes but still managed to give a cheerful smile. I smiled back at him with guilt as I hold his hand.

"You know I can't love you back but you still chose to love me." I said while looking at his eyes.

"You know he can't love you back and I am here who always love you but you still chose to love him." he said back as he looked up to see the sky which was cloudy and dark.

"I'm sorry. But I can't just give him up." I said as I looked to the same direction he was looking. "And I just can't bring myself to love you the way you love me. " I added as tears formed in my eyes.

He caressed my cheek and wiped the tear that was about to flow. "It's okay. Just don't forget that I'm always here for you, protecting and loving you." he said. His eyes were sad and painful.

I smiled at him painfully and hugged him tight. "You know that I love you and I don't want to lose you but my love is different from yours. You can't love me. You shouldn't love me. I am not the one you deserved." I said a little bit pity and he just hugged me tighter like he didn't want me to let go.

"Same goes to you. He only thinks of you as his best friend, nothing more and nothing less. You shouldn't love him because he doesn't deserved you." he said as he pulled away. "But we're almost going through the same situation that's why I will never leave you." he added.

"I am confused. I don't know what to do anymore." I said shaking my head slowly.

"He can't love you back. You can't love me back. Will you wait for the time when I stop loving you and move on? Or will you wait for the time when he'll love you back which would take forever to happen?" he asked meaningfully. He then stood up and turned back from me. "You have to choose. Will you choose the one you love who doesn't love you back? Or will you choose the one who loves you even you can't love him back?" he added as he continued to walked away.

I was left speechless. I came back to reality when I realized he was walking away from me. "Same question goes for you! Who will you going to choose?" I shouted because he was a little bit far. He stopped from walking and turned around to me with a smirk on his face.

"Isn't it obvious?" he paused. "I am going to choose her. The one who cannot admit to herself that she loves me more than she loves him!" he shouted back. His smirk turned into an evil grin then he walked towards me.

My eyes opened wide and my heartbeats went faster than normal. I felt like there's a knot in my stomach with butterflies flying around in it.

"But...how?" I asked almost a whisper but he heard it for we were only a few inches away from each other.

"Your eyes might have that guilty look but that's only the outer. Your smile might be just sad when I say I love you but it's really not. Your brain doesn't want to accept it but you can't fool your heart. Stop pretending that you don't love me, it will only hurt you more. Don't push me away anymore, it's killing you inside, right? Admit it, you love me." he said as he held my chin up so that I could look at him in his eyes. "I know you know you love me. You just can't admit it." he added as his face got closer to mine. His lips were on my lips, he kissed me softly, as gentle as he can.

And a tear flowed down to my cheeks and was followed by another tear and another. It couldn't stop. Half of those were tears of joy. The feelings I've been suppressing for so long had already reached him.

And the other half were tears of sadness. "I...I love you. I love you. I do love you." I said over and over again as I hold onto his shirt, tight. "But we can't. We share the same blood and I am your older sister." I said as tears continued to flow endlessly.

The end.
