I should be celebrating my band signing a major record deal.
How can I, when it’s costing me the love of my life?
From the very beginning, Daniel and I knew this day was coming.
We made a deal early on that when I left on tour, whatever was between us would end.
After all, I could never ask him to put his life on hold for me.
Still, with what time we had, we reveled in the passion between us night after night.
It was a fiery love story so intense, it was only a matter of time before it consumed us.
But it wasn’t without consequences.
There’s a lot to risk when you decide to fake it with someone.
Pretending you aren’t falling in love. Pretending your heart won’t be shattered when you walk away.
Then the time came for that crushing goodbye.
There was no more we have to stop doing this.
No more sneaking around.
Would I take it all back if it would grant me even a momentary reprieve from the pain?
All the stolen kisses? All the heated moments between the sheets?
Not for an instant.
I’d do it all over again... because he’s worth the heartbreak.
I pretended I wasn’t going to fall in love.
Now, with only the memory of his kisses to hold on to, I realize how wrong I was.

Before I say what I need to say, I want to tell you how amazingly perfect these last few weeks with you have been. Every moment of it was perfect and I wouldn’t change it for the world.”
“But?” I ask, feeling it coming on.
“But… I’ve been thinking about how unfair this all is to you. I mean, I’m out there, living my life and doing what I want to do and you’re here wasting your life by waiting for me. I don’t want you to move on without me, but I don’t want you missing out on your life for me either.”
“What are you saying, Luna?” I ask, feeling the panic rising in my chest.
“I’m saying that when I get back, if you’re still around and wanting me, I will want you too. But I don’t want you waiting on me. I want you to go out and experience life. I don’t want you missing out on opportunities because you’re waiting for me. If you find some girl attractive, I want you to be able to ask her out. If you get offered an amazing job, I want you to be able to decide if you want to take it or not and I don’t want you factoring me in. I just want you to be happy, even if it isn’t with me.”
I nod my head as I clamp my teeth together. “So, you’re breaking up with me?”
She turns to face me. “No, I’m not breaking up with you because we’re not together, Daniel. As much as it hurts me to do this, I’m letting you go free, to find whatever makes you happy when I can’t be here. Please, understand the difference.”
