Whispers in the Water: A collection of short stories and poetry

Love?

I never thought I would experience heartbreak quite like this. It was a love that consumed me, a love that I thought would last a lifetime. But as they say, all good things must come to an end. And so it was with us.

I remember the day it all fell apart. The words that were said, the tears that were shed. It felt like a dagger through my heart, a pain that I never knew was possible. How could something so beautiful turn so ugly in an instant?

I tried to hold on, to fight for what we had. But it was like trying to grasp onto sand slipping through my fingers. No matter how hard I tried, it was slipping away from me, out of my control.

I watched as you walked away, your back turned to me, your footsteps echoing in the space between us. And in that moment, I knew it was over. The love that once filled my heart was replaced with emptiness, an impossible void.

I tried to move on, to forget you and the memories we shared. But every corner I turned, every song I heard, every scent that lingered in the air reminded me of you. It was like you were haunting me, a ghost from my past that I couldn't shake.

I was lost in a sea of emotions, drowning in sorrow and regret. I wondered if I could have done things differently if I could have saved us from this fate. But deep down, I knew some things were not meant to be.

So I let you go, releasing you from the chains that bound us together. I wish you well and hope you will find happiness in whatever path you choose. As I watched you fade into the distance, I knew that it was time for me to find my own way, to heal my broken heart, and to start anew.
