He said:
“I have loved her for 6 years. Purely, sincerely, genuinely and loyally. I gave her the encouragement to pursue her dreams, and the freedom to maintain her own identity. Yet I also held her hands and her heart whenever she needed assistance, reassurance, comfort. I gave her everything that I had. I gave her all of me.
Just because I did not ask her one damn question she has now left me. She just left. One minute she was dwelling comfortably within the recesses of my heart. The next minute she was gone. Before I could even begin searching for her she had attached herself to another’s heart.
How is that even possible? How can she claim to have loved me when it was so easy for her to love another? Did I mean anything to her at all? Did I not love her enough? Can a mere question be so important?
Was my love not good enough for her?”
She said:
“I have loved him for 6 years. Truly and honestly. I would have left everything behind for him. I would have given up everything for him. I would have fought the world for him.
After 6 years, I wanted to begin a new chapter in our lives. He did not. Or could not. I really don’t know. Having arrived at a forked path in my life I had to decide. So I made my choice. Despite that, I can never truly love another. Not like I loved him. He meant everything to me.
How difficult is it to ask me a question he already knew the answer to? Why couldn’t he? Am I not worth it? Did he really love me? Did he have doubts? Did I not love him enough?
Was my love not good enough for him?”
A million thing said by others fell on deaf ears. Only when pushed, she pushed back. Not willing to move. Just waiting at the bus stop all alone. Waiting for that one guy to show, who never did. And yet, he promises her he will come, that she must wait. She is still waiting. He still just passes-by. others have come, willing to give shelter and a lift. But she still waits for Him, always passing-by but never stopping.
