Nothing Left
Its the one minute I always feared. He walked up to me with worried eyes and I
could see tears forming. He had been thinking hard about this. I could see
his worry lines. I wished this would never come. I had been hoping it wouldn’t come.
“Can we talk?” he murmured silently and in that same second I could feel my tear ducts
forming water bodies along my waterline. I tried to prevent it but his eyes were
captivating and it was impossible for me to imagine myself without the other half. I heard
a silent crack as he said “I can’t do this. I’m sorry.” But, I knew he wasn’t. He was
already gone. As swift as the wind. As bright as the sun. And as cruel to my heart as a
knife cutting your finger. I couldn’t take the hurt any longer. I fell to the ground and
started balling. All in that same second, I went from worried to feeling the poison set into
our, already gone, relationship. I fought to keep our relationship as long as we could. I
remembered all we wanted. All we had planned. All the phone calls. All the hugs. All
kisses. All the ‘I love you’ messages. He fought away my fears. He held me through
every moment of terror and tragedy. And now he isn’t here to get me though this terror.
This is the tragedy he couldn’t be there for. I feared this moment all day and all week. I
couldn’t believe it actually happened for real. In one minute, I went from bad to worse to
terrible. I will never forget my first love. For he is the one I planned to spend the rest of
my days with. When he walked away, he left a slim, silver wedding band behind. He
also left a broken heart. It was over in 10 seconds. In the next 20 seconds, I
remembered all we had. And for the remains of that minute, I realized he’s gone for
good. Nothing left to mend my already broken heart.
Nobody to left to love. No love left.
