 I saw the anger in your brow, the way it wrinkled under stress. I could almost feel heat emanate from you. I blamed us and you blamed yourself. I was certain I was doing what was right for me. I didn’t want to go and a part of me prayed you’d beg me to stay but you were just so mad. I was just so hurt.
I always said I’d go, there’s some things I cannot live with, and I refuse to. Today, I realize I gave up too soon. Which isn't to say I never fought for us; I did, for what felt like years. We overcame many challenges together, and quite frankly, I let a lot go. |
