Leave Me in the Past

In the arms of my best friend's brother, I am closer to sin than ever. Tyler's gaze skims over my lips, and I remember how I kissed him for the first time seven years ago, before leaving this town and swearing never to return. His hands grip my waist, and I recall the pain when he rejected me, and my whole world collapsed. We do not belong to each other, and we should not be kissing. I tried to stay away from Tyler, but when his sister's wedding brings us back to the same town, the same house, I can't avoid running into him, no matter how hard I try. He is always nearby, his dark eyes mesmerizing, beckoning me into their depths. Memories of us pull me underwater, and when Tyler smiles, my breath catches. I can't break free from his grip. If he kisses me right now, I will drown. And take him with me... Now I beg Tyler to make me hate him, knowing that he never could.
