"I'm going to KL"
Perhaps we can go. She nods

"I am going away on national day weekend"
Without him? Well maybe she has other plans for them.

"Shall we take a trip during the October week?" he suggested
"I want to go to bali during these months, not those times you said. They're not suitable for me."

"I want to spend forever with you" he admitted.
She kept quiet. He was sad.

"I want to be able to leave the relationship anytime I want" she told him.
He was floored.

"Shall we travel together and see South Africa?" He asked her.
"I don't think I'll go to South Africa during that time. Work will be busy"
More time apart. He thinks he should not go.

"I told you I wanted to go away on a 3 month trip" she said
He was floored again.

"I want to live overseas" she said
He did too. But then he worried about his mum and things. But he wanted her happy.
"Sure" he said.

He wanted things too.
But he wanted her to be happy.
He wanted her with him. Did she want to be with him? Surely right? But.. Does she? "Has she factored you in anytime long term?" his head reminded
He wanted her to have plans with him.
He wanted to be loved.
But

He wished she wanted to be with him.
He kept silent.
He kept on wishing and hoping.

Maybe that day will come.
