July 19, 2006



This is the day, the day my dearest leaves. I’m not exactly angry with my wife, nevertheless, she is near to the end. My wife’s name is Chloe, i call her Coco, and she’s going to the hospital for a while. I’m not angry but i’m frustrated, not with her but with the fact that i won’t BE with her. Nobody wants to leave their loved ones, especially not me.

The Art of Staying

Kathryn knew how to leave. Leaving wasn’t just something she did—it was woven into her identity. She had done it countless times before: leaving cities, countries, continents—and, of course, people—whenever the next chapter of her life called for a clean break from the one before. And she never hesitated.

She didn’t grieve the places or the people she left behind, even when she had loved them deep...

Leaving

Everyone talks about how they left but they never talk about the heartbreak that follows. It’s an indescribable mix of mind numbing pain and anger. In the moment you feel completely numb-like all you can do is sit there and watch. After they leave though, you get so sad it turns into anger. That anger is powerful. It makes you say and do things to the person you loved so dearly. You still do love ...

Leaving

I never thought the moment would arrive, whereby our hearts that were once joined, separate. You smiled at me as if all was going to be well tomorrow, you held my hand as if you would hold it again. Was it too much on my side? Was I too expectant of the love I once dearly craved?


Should I blame myself? I did everything right, I loved you, I listened to you, I did it all to love you and for you t...

Goodbyes

This is the last week I’ll be here, so I’m saying goodbye.

Goodbye to the lovely window in my room, goodbye to the familiar dents in the wall, and goodbye to the carpet I lay on when I’m upset.

Goodbye to the things that stuck around until I didn’t need them anymore.

Goodbye to all the places I’ve memorized; the field past the dead end, the bridge on the way to school, the highway that lights up...

Growing Up

Natalie had just turned 19 years old. With her birthday, she made an announcement to her family. She was moving out. Obviously, her parents had questions. What about them? What about her pets? What about school? She didn’t even graduate yet, she was still a year away from that. But Natalie never did well in school, her having an attention deficit disorder and not be able to be medicated made it qu...

Leaving Home To Enter A New One

I stare at the carriage from my bedroom window as they pack my suitcases into it. I don’t want to leave. I really really do not want to leave. But if it’ll save our kingdom, if it’ll save my little sister, then so be it. I will leave. I will marry Prince Eiran.

I turn away from the window and walk over to my dresser. I pick up my diamond necklace and wear it around my neck. I look at myself in t...

The World Did Not End

Your world keept spinning, so did mine. We came from two diffrent worlds, at least it felt like it. I thought the world would end if you left me, i told you that. You smiled as if i had said something silly.

”**_ i will never leave you_**” came out from those beautiful lips, i could tell you meant it. You keept your words. You never **left** but **neither** did you **stay**.


Because with all the...

Goodbye

I love Chloe, but I've done things that would hurt he if she knew, so I must leave before she finds out. I will travel until I'm as far away from her as possible, no matter the cost. But if we're meant to be then fate will find a way for us....

My Old Lover

I miss you so bad, I know we can’t have each other. It’s just hurts to know that, I’m talking to someone new. It’s not the same as you, I wish it were you. The way our conversations were so easy and didn’t have me thinking of what to say next. I just knew I could say anything and you would understand. We aren’t meant for each other, but still why can’t I move on. It seems you’ve moved on, it hurts...
