He stared at the ocean and played with the sand in his hand, "I love her. I cannot let her go."

"I know," she answered, "I'm not asking you to let her go."

He looked at her with wonder, "Then why are you still here? Why are we here?"

She looked into his eyes and rested her hand on his leg, "Because I love you. I cannot let you go."

She hugged him before he could see the tears falling from her eyes, "So please, please don't ask me to let you go."
