He stood still.

The pain he felt was unbearable.

It felt like someone had torn his beating heart from his chest.

He felt dead inside. Cold and alone

He stood there for what felt like an eternity, just staring.

He stared, trying to find a reason to be angry.

He was alone and it was all her fault.

She'd left him with this void. It was like it was sucking him in.

Everything he had once enjoyed felt like torture.

He fell to his knees on soft dewy grass and cried.

He cried till it felt like his eyes bled.

He cried out his pain, his anger, his love.

Rogue had left him, and he had loved her.

Loved her like nothing else. Loved her more than life itself.

And she was gone.

To a place were he couldn't follow.

Gambit lifted his head to look at the tombstone.

Marie

The rogue who drifted into out hearts.

At peace.

His soulmate had left him alone.

She'd never even told him she was dying.

They all knew.

But not him.

He'd loved her with every breathe and had never known.

He'd held her as she took her last breathe.

He saw the light in her green eyes fade as she passed.

He was one half of a whole, left to drift alone.
