the world was coming to an end,
they were no exception.
he loved her,
she loved him.
and yet he still couldn't say it because,
even at the end,
fear consumed him.
but right before
the world became nothing,
she said the three words.
and he didn't have time to.
he died fearful.
not only of death and rejection,
but of love.
he never got to say he loved her
before it was too late.
