Fly Bye

People change. Childish crushes fade. I'm an adult now, a doctor with more important things to worry about. I gave up on the boy next door ever loving me a long time ago. Or so I thought...until he returns to our hometown on leave from the Air Force. For the first time, not everything between us feels one-sided. That doesn't make it matter. He'll take off soon-literally. I'm a fly by to him. Nothing more than a passing interest. A distraction. I know getting involved with him will mean saying goodbye to my heart. I know I should say no. I know I'll say yes.
