3 AM

11 AM.

“This is the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do.”

Is it? Is it really?

If it were the hardest thing you’ve ever had to do, you would still be here.

If you loved me like you said you did, you would be sitting next to me right me.

12 AM

“I need to be alone right now.”

The tears still streamed down your face, and they weren’t stopping.

I reminded you of our times together, our first kiss in my car, the long midnight drives.

But nothing was changing your mind.

1 AM

“I’ve never felt this way before, it scares me.”

But think of the future I said, think of you and me. Think of our plans.

I was scared too, but that didn’t matter, now did it?

I had never felt that way either, but I wanted to learn, with you.

2 AM

“This is all too much.”

Too much for you? What about me?

I am the one who will hurt.

I am the one who will be heartbroken.

I am the one who will spend my life wondering why.

And you? You will be just fine.

3 AM

“Goodbye.”

And then I am left, broken.

You always had the power in our relationship, because you were the one who cared the least.

But I shouldn’t have given you that power. Because deep down, I knew you would say that one simple word.

Goodbye.
