The Bet

she said i t was going to be ok.
she lied, but i knew she was lying.
and that's how i realized i loved her.

she had a lover.
i think it was ricky.
i had one, but marie moved abroad last year.
i think we both knew about each other's affairs but that didn't stop us from changing our lives and devote ourselves to one another.
we had broken up several times, and several times we got back together.
we used to joke with our friends that they were free to bet how long we would last together.
we laughed, but we were actually sad deep inside. we only wanted to be happy.

on our last vacation we went to visit her parents.
we died on the airplane.
i never thought i'd die on an airplane crash.
we were arguing.
it was very uncomfortable to argue in public, because we didn't want to make a scene. it was always better if we were all alone and we could shout and yell.
just before crashing she held my hand.
she said it was going to be ok.
i smiled.
