Work Text:
The nights are cold without you.
It’s all so new,
this empty bed,
and quiet house.
It’s overwhelming.
I miss your laughter
and your smile.
The way you welcomed me home,
the way you kissed me.
You left me.
All alone,
with no one home.
You left me for him.
You chased him for so long,
and now he’s yours.
It feels so wrong,
but you love him,
and I love you.
They say “if you love them,
let them go.”
So I did.
It hurts to see you in his arms.
I wish I could make you smile like he does,
but I can’t.
So I'm happy.
I dwell on what was.
It’s hard to think of the future.
A future without you.
These feelings are new.
The jealousy,
the sadness,
the grief.
I’m sorry I couldn’t be a good wife,
and give you the best life.
My love for you will live on,
but it won't interfere.
I’m sorry,
I’ve loved you so long.
I’m glad you’re happy.
Farewell, my love.
