It broke my heart when I heard him say "I do." It shattered my heart into a million different pieces. Pieces that no matter how hard I tried, I don't think would ever be able to fit back together after that day.
I'd known it was coming for ages, that he would be giving himself away to someone, but it was only when he said those two words that I really felt it. I think it was because before that, there was still a chance. However unlikely, there was still that small chance that instead of vowing to spend the rest of his life with her, he would realize his mistake; he would turn to me and say, "Frankie, take me back!" And up until then, I would have.
Actually, no. Even now I would. In a split second, if he said he wanted me back then I would welcome him with open arms. Because the truth is, even though my heart is in a million pieces, he still owns it in it's broken and tarnished state.
Sometimes, I still think he might realize he's got that box with all the pieces, and he'll try to fix it back together somehow. That one day he might show up at my door, trying to mend things the same way he did when he noticed the cracks forming in the first place, in the weeks leading up to his wedding. But it would never work. So long as he was tending to the needs of her frail heart as well, he'd never be able to focus on mine long enough to know how to fix it for good.
So I don't think he'll ever realize the lynch pin of my heart, the piece that keeps all the others in place, the millionth piece that he'd never be able to find, is part of his heart. The part I handed back to him the moment he said, "I do." The part he gave to her right after he got it back.
