Why?

Questions Left Unanswered Never to Be Spoken

Why?

That was his last word. One single word, one syllable, and it haunts every dream, every action, every thought. Why did we have to end like this? Why did he have to be taken so soon? Why didn't I fight for him? Why did I let this happen?

One word and instead of answering I walked away. Why did I walk away?

One word and maybe if I had stayed everything would be different. Maybe if I had stayed he'd be next to me playing with my hair until I fall into a peaceful slumber. Maybe he'd still be here, if not with me, at least still alive.

Why did love destroy us? Why couldn't we have been the lucky ones?

Why?
