You'll Have To Learn

The air resound with the thickness of the unresolved argument that had just taken place. She lay there still cuddled in his arms,warm tears streaming down her face. She could not believe how all this had aspired from one stupid argument. How could I have even let that bother me she thought as more tears fell onto her pillow. He slowly breathed next to her, holding her like it were any other night. Upon a stranger's glance one would never know he had just uttered possibly the worst words she had ever heard. "You'll have to learn" he began, saying each word as if it were normal. "You have to learn to deal with the pain. Some things in life are tough and they may hurt. But maybe they aren't meant to be. I know I don't make you happy." Rethinking it she couldn't help but let out a sob. How could he even think that? It was the farthest thing from the truth. Sure they argued about stupid things, but what couple doesn't. She couldn't bear to lye so close to him with all these thoughts burning inside her. She gently got up from the bed. Once she had made it silently over top of him, she replaced the cover and set his stuffed animal next to him. With a kiss and a gentle goodnight she retreated to the living room, her very own stuffed animal at her side. She sat down on the couch, feeling no desire to sleep. Everything kept playing over in her head. How could he think that? How can I make him see just how much I love him? I don't want this to be over. . . I can't handle for this to be over..... I need him. Then once again the terrible words sounded in her head ..."You'll have to learn." The words kept cutting deeper, making the spot where he first uttered them bleed through her very shirt. I can't learn I need him she thought, more tears streamed down her face then ever before. I can't learn I just can't ..... Please God don't make me.... She pleaded with the only person awake to listen. Please God, please just help him to understand I need him and love him.... I can't learn. The hours kept passing bye as she lay on the couch thinking about what had just happened. I love him .... Please don't make me lose him.... She begged for hours until she thought she could cry no more. A final tear fell down her already tear streaked face as she drifted off to sleep and heard one last utterance with one final stab of pain .... "You'll have to learn" he said....
