I smiled knowing that this was the end. The end of life as I knew it. I sat in the front row and smiled, I smiled for him, for what we could have had.
I knew this day would come; I wasn't naive enough to think that we would just carry on when the war was over but it still came as a silent shock. Her smile made the sun jealous when they told me and he was smiling too, a different smile, my smile, and I knew then that this was the start of goodbye.
It was never going to be goodbye forever, I would most likely see him the next day for breakfast or if not then defiantly the next week in the office at work. But I would never really see him again, not how I wanted to.
I couldn't hate her, not really, there were some jealously but I'd gotten over that a long time ago, I still acted the same with her, she was still my best friend of course and if she knew about me and him I almost think that she would understand, she was always the excepting one.
But this was between us, and as I sat waiting next to him for her to walk up the isle I felt grateful for to have had him for as long as I did. We didn't look at each other; I was terrified of what would happen if we did. I wanted to cry out, to stop him, to beg him, but I couldn't even open my mouth. Tears gushed to my eyes but I held them back, this was not the time, just be happy for him.
I longed for one last time to utter those magic words that just months before came all to easily.
And even after everything I believe I was so lucky to have had someone that made saying goodbye so hard, so i put on a brave face, smiled for the cameras, said my pleasantries, but inside I was screaming.
