She sat there on the edge of the bed
Sobbing
Holding her picture in her shaking hands
A tear fell slowly, silently, down her cheek
It’s over?
She couldn’t believe what she had heard
How could it be over?
This isn’t how it was supposed to be
They were supposed to be together, forever
Soul mates
There were voices around her
But she never heard a word
Stuck in this moment
Frozen
Trying to take it in
Over?
She said it was all over
Silence fell all around her
But you could hear her heart breaking
Shattering into a thousand pieces
A confident woman, reduced to a broken, frightened, girl
She stood
Still staring at the picture
Still not hearing the people around her
And walked out the door
She daren’t look back
That world was gone now
Nothing would ever be the same again
She still loved her
She always would
And she would never truly get over her
Her heart may have healed over the years
But there would always be a piece missing
The piece she left behind
Hoping that one day she would return it.
