“I never got the chance to say it before Future sent you away, but I am. I’ve spent so much time running. And I don’t know. I saw the way you were watching me, and I wanted it, Marley. All of it. Late mornings in bed and holding your hand. Sunsets and holidays. I wanted inside jokes. I wanted to be the reason you smiled every single day. I wanted to never blink again, out of fear you’d disappear one day. That’s why I’ve clung so tightly to my friends. Because if they are with me, they’ll never leave me.”
