Goodbye

A Story by Amandaaharris

It’s deeper than just being angry about the betrayal and the lies. It’s sadness so deep you can physically feel your heart break. It’s not being able to look them in the eyes or even turn your head their way in fear they’ll see you’re tears rolling. Being silent when all you want to do is scream and ask why. I wish i knew before you used again so i could say goodbye to the man i kissed goodnight every night. Say goodbye to the man that sang in the car with me and held my hand every chance he got. He reminded me i was beautiful and kissed my nose. It’s only been a few hours since I’ve seen this man last but i miss him so much. The laugh that fed my soul and brightened my days. A few hours is a long time to go without that. I am not angry. I’m heartbroken. I wish i knew before. I didn’t get to say goodbye.
