Sixty Seconds of Love

Okay, so here's my first story post! :D
________________

As I stood staring down the dark hallway, my heart pounded against my ribs. No longer did I care for the way he treated me. I was tired of being called a child by him, I wanted-- no, needed for him to know my feelings. Each step I took got me closer to that. There was no way I could turn back now. I reached the red door and extended my hand. Turning the knob, I opened the door. I saw him, lying in his bed, hands behind his head, with ear buds in his ears. As I closed the door, he looked over to me with a serene look on his face. I could feel my ears burning.
"I need to talk to you." I said. He gave one sharp nod, and stayed silent. "I love you." I said. He was surprised, that much I could tell. He got up off the bed and stepped closer to me. He never said a word, instead pulling me close to him and hugging me. It was a long hug, and when he let me go, he kissed the top of my head.
"Goodbye" He whispered. He sank down to his knees, then fell on the ground. He became motionless after just a few seconds.

It took me a few years, but I learned since that fateful night that sixty seconds of love was all he needed. He had been waiting for me to realize what I felt. And when I had, he was able to leave. Sometimes I smelled his cologne, other times I felt his presence. I was angry at him for leaving me after I told him how I felt, but I knew that he had done what he was meant to do; he showed me what love was.
