she's pacing around his room

she's read all his journals

and all his letters

to her

but she still can't quite figure out

just why

he chose to leave the way he did.

you could've been so beautiful

he called her his star

and laughed when she called him the same.

maybe i should've tried harder?

it's too late now, anyways.

she still can't quite figure out how

he could've thought,

for even one second,

that any of them -

his family, his friends,

her -

could live without him.

she's pacing around his room,

still trying to figure out why

he chose to

leave her like that.

but the walls are closing in and the storm is getting closer

and everything has come crashing down

and she can almost see why

he left the way he did;

but she can't, not really,

and nothing makes sense anymore.

where are you now?

i need you,

but you're gone.

i know

i wasn't there when

you needed me...

is this how you're punishing me?

it's not, but she can't know that for sure, now, can she?
