Today they said "I do".
Today my heart broke.
They had
their wedding today. It was perfect, exactly like everyone had always
imagined. All of their family and friends smiling and crying at the
absolute perfection of it all. Everyone knew this was meant to be.
Topanga looked beautiful. And Cory did too. Everything was beautiful.
And I knew it would always be beautiful for them. And I wondered if she
knew why I was crying. I wondered if Cory knew. I was the best man, of
course. And I cried too, but if you looked closely, I wasn't smiling.
Today he left.
Today my heart broke.
Shawn moved away today. It was expected. There was a party and everyone
said their goodbyes. Everyone cried because he wouldn't stay. Everyone
knew this was inevitable. He smiled and dragged his heavy bags to the
door. Shawn looked sad. Everything was sad. And I wondered if it would
always be sad for him. Topanga looked sad, and I wondered if she knew
why I was crying. I wondered if Shawn knew. I drove him to the airport,
of course. And I cried too, but it was because I couldn't go with him.
