Three years...
Abruptly coming to a stop.
it was just so sudden...
one minute his smile gave me goose bumps and the next....his words broke me.
I had given him everything,three years of my patience and understanding and love. Three years- of all that i had.
There are so many memories that had been burned into my mind ,so many times his eyes filled with a passion you could only dream of. This was the man i called my better half, the one that knew me better than i knew myself-
But it wasn't good enough-
i wasn't good enough-
i wasn't good enough for him-
what chance did i have when my best wasn't the best for the man that i loved?
how could i possibly regain myself when i had given him all that i had?
to hear those words-
The words that shatter your fantasy into one thousand pieces...
The words that say you should not have ever been-
The words that say he will not do this again-
That it was all just
Not enough.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You make a decision.
Never again. I will disappear and make him miss what he left....
but then-
you get a call-
you hear his laugh and you catch yourself smiling...
Then back comes the pain, renewed from the presence of his laughter ringing in your mind.
memories flood.
I'm drowning.
I cant breathe.
Why did he have to let it all go?
Why did he have to forget me?
----------------------------------------
Wasn't it good enough?
Wasn't I good enough?
Wasn't I good enough for him?
