The end has finally come. This is it for us. All the years we spent running have finally caught up to us. We were young when we married. We wanted different things but we were both stubborn and pushed-fought ourselves for this relationship.
I put down my third cup of coffee and apologize as I pinch the bridge of my nose. I look up to see the sun rising just over the glass on the table. I can't believe we've been at this all night.
We knew this was ending. It's been a long time coming. Maybe we shouldn't have done it in the first place. Maybe I should say something, maybe it'll change your mind. It can at least buy me a little more time.
Words fail me. I have nothing else to say. There's nothing I can say to get you to stay. Nothing I can do to put an end to this hurt for either of us. I'm drawing a blank. I feel like I'm in space and praying-begging whatever God is out there to help me because I can't think of a thing to say.
It breaks my heart to watch you pack your things. All I can do is sit there and stare. After what seems like forever, you set the suitcase by the door. You look down at your wedding ring and slowly slip it off. You walk and place it at the foot of the bed. Should I pick it up? Should I get down on my knees? I could tell you what you want to hear and that I can give you what you need.
But I'm lost. I've got no words to stop you. I've got no powers to stop your leaving. I want us both to stop hurting. I want us to be happy. Why can't I think of something to say. I'm in space, pleading and begging for someone-something to help me find the words but I've got nothing.
You pick up your suitcase to walk away but before you get to the door, you stop and turn to me. I can see your eyes screaming at me to say something or stop you on your tracks but I can't. There's nothing I can say. I love you but I'm blank. This was a long time coming. Love just isn't enough any more. Love is no enough for you, not enough for me and thats what hurts. I love you so much but our love has run its course.
"Goodbye, Spaceboy." And you're gone.
