I walk alone these empty streets
There is not a second you're not here with me
The love you gave, the grace you've shown
Will always give me strength and be my cornerstone
Flashback:
He stood there, surveying his surroundings, taking it all in. He wanted to memorize where everything was, he wanted to remember. He stared at the photos on the wall of him and her, together, smiling, crying from laughter. He walked up to one in particular. It was the one of him and her at the zoo, right in front of the arachnids display. She had been freaking out. That was the day he truly realized how deeply in love he was.
He smiled as he remembered her holding him close, grabbing his shirt way too hard and jerking him around. He would've been annoyed if it was just anyone doing it, but it was Meri and he couldn't help but think of how adorable she looked. Her nose crinkled in disapproval as she had passed each exhibit, one hairier than the next. She would giggle when the little critters were on top of each other. She even stopped once to touch the glass, well graze it at least, she'd pulled back before she had actually done what would've been constituted as touching. That day was one of the best of his life. But today, today he knew, was on of the worst, if not the worst.
He turned to the clock, 4:15. He had a little less than an hour left before she came home. He looked down to his feet as he saw a single duffel bag that he had place there. The black duffel bag contained only his essentials, his toothbrush, toothpaste, comb, medical journals that were his favorite, his prized guitar was sitting next to it, leaning against the striped-patterned couch.
He stood there for a while longer, 4:30. Time to go. He willed himself to move, but he was rooted. He knew he was making a mistake. But he had to take that chance. For her. His legs felt like two hundred pound weights as he dragged them along the beige carpet. His black duffel in one hand and his guitar in the other. He'd left his piano with her, his shirts, everything. He knew she'd be home soon. He wanted to say sorry, to even say good-bye. But he couldn't.
He took a piece of paper from his pocket and a pen. He leaned against the hard wood table as he scrawled some words on the paper. He wanted to say so much, but he knew he was only making it harder on both of them. So he opted for something more simplistic, something that was both short and made her understand that he had to do it. He set the paper down. And with that he shut the door tight.
A single tear fell from his cheek as his body made contact with the cold Baltimore air. It was over.
Even though for now we've gotta say goodbye
I know you will be forever in my life
