How can he love me, then not? He went, he ran. And I cannot bring him back. Yet, I left the door metaphorically wide open, hoping he’d come back and bang on it proclaiming, “I want to be here with you. Always.” Soon I’m going to have to shut it. For my safety and my sanity. Let go. I don’t want to. Won’t letting go be just that - letting go? Giving up? Admitting failure? Admitting that it is really, truly over?
