He said that when he
wakes up in the morning,
and I am not there
by his side, filling up
the empty area in his bed,
that’s when he realizes
how much he needs me.
Regret is all he has
for breakfast anymore.
Thoughts of letting me go
when I was never
supposed to leave
is something that he
has to live with; something
that he has never been able to
understand. At one point,
he thought that being
without me would make everything
feel a little more at ease.
But on the day that I left,
he told me that my fresh absence
was a feeling that he
never wants to have to
experience again.
