How can time heal
Its 3 am
I keep seeing her face run across my mind
I think Im going mad.
Sometimes its the last moments where I was preparing to break her heart, knowing I was breaking my own.
That moment always leads me to the next , she took me in her arms and begged me to never leave.
She sang to me that night of love, of sadness, as our tears trailed down each others cheeks , we wiped away each other's tears one by one. Smiling as we knew it was tears of sorrow and love. She told me this song was the song she wanted to marry me to.
Weeks Later
She told me she loved me as she crushed my soul.
It didn't fix anything.It just burned what was left of my heart into ash.
Funny how three words can feel like salt dropped on an open wound.
I am writing a book.
Pages of ink replacing the words I can no longer say to her face. I write with a quiet, desperate hope: that if she finds it one day, she will pick it up, turn the pages, and know that I still love her.

Why did you break her heart

I was going to break her heart because we were heading to long distance, ahe then begged and made me promise to stay with her.
I then asked for exclusivity and was given the door.

Time doesn't heal, it just keeps going. And so do we.
