For the Love of Layla

by Callie Moss

When this is all said and done, please know it was done from love. Every moment has been because I cannot and will not live without you.

“Open the door, little love, please. I know you’re hurting, you don’t have to. It’s hurting me too. God, I love you, baby, I just want you. That’s it. That’s all I’ve ever wanted. You didn’t need me anymore, Layla. I made you need me.”

“I’ve spent my whole life hiding that part of me, the part that… fixates. You changed all of that the moment I saw you, I didn’t want to hide anymore. I just wanted you to see me, Layla.”

There is no you without me, Layla. I told you that. I would have never let you live if I planned to die.”
