CG 08

we were the envy of all the other couples. we were always laughing, we seldom had fights, you were always gentle and considerate and you never stayed mad at me for long. you were never strict and you let me wear what i wanted even if there was more skin than fabric. you were beside me when i lost my ovary and you lost sleep too when i was jittery losing my gallbladder. I had a lot of moments where i thought the world was going to end but you never fall short in comforting me although sometimes you do the opposite. You never had an issue with me going out late nor coming home drunk. We went through a lot of issues...and i thought we will grow old dealing with them together. I’ve always pictured us as grandparents in the park still kissing and hugging. sad that will never happen. There are a lot i am so thankful for...those 9 years i will forever treasure…

I’ve so much more to be thankful for...so much more i want to tell you. Please know even though our hearts don’t beat to the same drum anymore i will keep you here with all of the memories we’ve created for almost a decade.
i will always and forever be thankful you were part of my life.
i still find myself staring into space, shedding a tear or two(even a million), losing appetite over a meal and wailing silently into the night but these as you say will pass. I will heal and maybe in the future we could still make great memories as friends which we will be both thankful for.
I only wish the best for you.
