When He Plays Piano in the Dark

... earth just right, she was gifted with days. A little over two years had drifted by. Were those days still worth it? Before morning, he stepped into the shower and let the hot water run over him. He posted both hands against the wall. The water was just short of scalding. When Pairen stepped in he was crying. Pairen wrapped her arms around him and let the water fall on their shared bodies. The hum of the water falling and hitting their skin was comforting. “I love you so much.” He broke the silence and wrapped her in his arms tightly. “Don’t leave me.” “I have to.” “I can do more, be better,” he pleaded. “I’ll step away for a while and it can be just you and me.” “You are in demand now more than ever. It would only hurt your career.” “I don’t care.” “Yes you do my love.” He pulled back just enough to look her in the eyes. Water ran down his face and dripped off his nose and lips. “You do love me don’t you?” “You know that I do.” “Say it,” he instructed. “I love you.” He kissed her desperately. “No one will ever love you the way that I love you, never make you feel the way that I do,” he said into her lips as if it would breathe life back into what was dying. “I know.” “I love you.” He tried to infuse her with those words. “I love you.” “I know you do, but you love the music more. You don’t need me. I’m just here, waiting for you to grow tired of me or worse, having nothing ever change between the two of us. It is just too much to ...

... ask of me.” He rested his forehead to hers. “We can get married and have babies. I know that’s what you want.” “You hate kids.” “I’d love ours.” “You don’t believe in marriage.” “I’d believe in ours.” “I have to go and get me a life back.” “You are my life,” he told her. “You are what makes everything else work.” “Your piano is your life. I’m just along for the ride.” “I can’t live in a world where you are not with me and it’s possible that you are loving someone else. I just can’t.” Pairen felt that he would continue to live just fine. He would play his music and it would cushion him from the world. His sister would always make sure that he had what he needed. Eventually, he would break someone else’s heart. Maybe someone would get further than even she had. And, Pairen knew too that she would forever carry him with what was left of her heart. *** In her dreams, she saw him sitting naked at his piano, playing in the dark. She could hear his music, the music that he named after her. She would awaken only to smooth out the curls of the little boy that had snuck into her bed and curled up beside her. She had given her son his father’s name. ______________________ ©AvrgBlkGrl, 2015.
