(I hope.)I chose the title 'Janus', the two faced Roman god, who looks to both the future and the past and is associated with beginnings and endings. Somehow, it seemed appropriate for Mick, as he struggles with what he wants to do and what he knows he should do.
Enjoy!
Janus
Walk away. Just walk away.
I can’t.
This has gone on too long. This isn’t healthy, for either of you.
I need her. She makes me feel so alive. She gives me hope.
She’s mortal. She’ll die someday. Will hope die with her?
No.
Liar.
She doesn’t have to stay mortal.
Monster! Would you do to her what was done to you?
I’d give her a choice. I love her too much to do anything else.
If you love her, leave her alone.
I can’t. I need her love, forever.
You can. Be strong and walk away. Just walk away.
ETA - I thought the title counted as a word, but since it doesn't, I squeezed in another.
First person Mick at his finest; his conflict cut down to the bare bones. And like most of us do, he will undoubtedly break this resolution...perhaps more than once as the years go by. 
There's a little bit of Mick in all of us, but he's been denied for so long, what he wants will likely win out.
I see Mick as a composite being - desperately holding on to his humanity, knowing he can never go back. As such is constantly faced with moral dilemmas.
