Yesterday during lunch, I kept looking over my shoulderin the hopes that she would be there. I must have done it 20 or 30 times. But she wasn't there. And she won't ever be again…
It happened all so fast.
"This isn't gonna work out, is it?"
"Probably not."
"Goodbye."
And later on…
"This isn't fair!"
"It's the only way it can be."
"No, it can't happen."
"Maybe I'm wrong! I don't know yet!"
"I hope to God you are…"
"I have to find out for myself! …you can't bully me into changing my mind!"
"That's not what I'm trying to do."
"Then why are you here?"
"Because I believe this is worth saving, and it's not fair for you to just throw it away!"
"… there's no other way… I have to find out what else is out there… emotionally, mentally… and perhaps physically."
"… I promise you this, and it will remain true whether you accept it or not, so you might as well accept it. I will always love you, and should you decide to ever come back to me, I will welcome you with open arms, no questions asked. I promise you that forever. This is the true test."
"Of what?"
"Of whether you are mine forever or were never mine to begin with."
"But I don't know right now…"
"… so hug, kiss, suck and fuck whoever you want. I wish only the best life for you. But I hope that it someday includes me."
After giving her a few things of hers, I kissed her on the forehead, and said "Goodbye".
Today, I sat herenot having the courage or energy to go to work and face it all. So I was here, and again, I sat and lookedwaiting for a phone call, an e-mail, an IM, anything. Nothing. I so desperately wanted to hear, "I'm sorry." But that didn't come. And it never will…
God, I miss her so much. I want so desperately to smell her hair and hug her and kiss heror just be near her. I can't take this… it hurts too…fucking…much…
I'm a good person; I don't deserve to be treated like this; I deserve to be able to keep her, because I earned her; I was good enough to keep her; and then something changed. And now I'm no longer good enough for her.
WHERE DID I GO WRONG?
I gave her every possible thing that a person could ever give: I let her into my home, my heart, my family, my bed, I gave her my affection, devotion, understanding, patience, time, and infinite love. I don't deserve this…
Why can't I be enough???
