Giving You Up

The sun remained high in the sky as the turn of the afternoon blazed onward through the day. Our shoes made soft crunches among the leaves in the street - the weather wasn't right for the autumn date.
"Don't you see," I whispered miserably, feeling the sadness building up inside my chest like a bubble. "I can't protect what isn't mine."
Just then, my best friend looked at me, her eyes full of the same melancholic darkness
that drifted through me like a wind. "You don't protect, that's the thing," she said. "You fight."
