Less than a minute ago he held her in his arms.
Less than a minute ago they had had a chance.
Diane had thought he was the one to break it off.
He wouldn't have. Couldn't have.
He had always known, but only over these last few months had he fully come to the realization…

And that's why he let her go.
She didn't have the luxury to feel the same way, no matter how much she'd miss him.
She couldn't let loose.

It only took one minute, one decision.
A lifetime of choices, summed up.
The outcome not in their favour.
Less than a minute ago he had not been heartbroken.
