'ALEXIS'  he said her name loudly to get her attention. She was right there before him, so close to him all he had to do, touch her. A voice in his mind, a haunting of how he really felt, how he wanted to scream out his feelings for her to listen....to hear...to understand....He stopped himself from touching her, from trying to hold onto her, he did not say anything that he thought he could say. He knew what he had to do and maybe telling her would only hurt her more. He looked into face, listening to the silence between them, knowing they were not finish. Did she know it? 'Alexis....' his voice quieter, more calm 'it's not as easy for me as you think' his eyes searched her for any kind of love that she might still have for him....
