His Secret, My Heartbreak

Tonight I was getting ready to leave for work, giving hugs and kisses good bye. As I'm hugging Denny, Jax says he wants to tell me a secret. I lean down, he cups his hands around my ear and says "I'm going to miss you." It was then that my heart broke. I quickly gathered my stuff and walked out. Denny was in the background saying "aww doesn't that just..." I stopped listening after that. I was too busy trying not to cry. How can one little sentence, from one little man, break my heart like that?
