I haven't seen Kate for months now. I miss her so much. And I lost her because of my stupidity. No I didn't cheat; well I don't call it cheating. I kissed Kylie- a tall blond. She wouldn't leave me alone, so I kissed her to shut her up. Its not like I slept with her. What I didn't know was that Kate had just walked in right as my lips locked with Kylie. All I remember was seeing the sight of her running out of the house and the slamming of the door and feeling my heart break with every step she had taken away from me.

I know I shouldn't have kissed Kylie. I know I did wrong. Kate didn't even let me explain to her she just left. I let her go so she could get some air, thinking we could talk that night or the next day. No. The next day while I was at work she had packed her bags and left without leaving me a note or a phone number. Nothing. I knew I didn't deserve such a friend. That was what Kate was, my best Friend...my lover...my soulmate.

Everyday is like a blur to me, I go to work and then my nights are spent going to bars and drinking till I am kicked outside onto my butt. I know it sounds mad, but I love the feeling of being thrown, beaten and slapped. Makes me feel better that I'm paying for the hurt I did to Kate. I didn't even go looking for her, she must think I'm with Kylie. I DON'T LOVE KYLIE, I wanna scream to the world. I love Kate.

My heart is aching for her. I never told her that I loved her. Or that I was in love with her.

One night I was at the bar like I am every night, about to swallow my fifth glass of beer when the glass was taken away from me. I was about to tell the person to fuck off and give me my glass back, but my bloodshot eye's caught sight of a tall woman with long black hair...my heart.

My breath caught, and a sob escaped my lips before I could stop it. She looked at me with those blue eyes that I love so much and then turned away. I was sure she didn't want to know me anymore. I was about to run out of there when I heard our favorite song. It was the song she sang to me the first time we made love. She just sat there on the chair looking at me, those blue eyes pinning me. Then she started to sing, her voice like magic:

Lying beside you, Here in the dark
Feeling your heart beat with mine
Softly you whisper. You're so sincere
How could our love been sooo blind
Where sailed on together,
where drifted apart,
And here you are by my side.

So now I call to you with open arms
Nothing to hide, Believe what I say,
Soo here I am, with open arms,
Hoping you'll see what your love means to me,
Open arms.

Living with-out you,
Living alone,
This house seems so cold,
Wanting to hold you,
Wanting you near,
How much I wanted you home

Now that you've come back,
tonight and today,
I need you to stay, So now I come to you,
with open arms, Nothing to hind,
believe what I say,

I love you!

When I heard these three words, she was right near me softy singing in my ear till the end of the song, Kate softy pulled my blonde head up to look at her. She had tears in her eyes as did I. "I'm sorry...I love you too," I whispered. I wanted to kiss her, to hold her forever. She pulled my lips to hers and kissed me with passion "I love you Josie," She whispered again, "I love you so much."

I knew everything was going to be all right.
