I look into his eyes and see the confusion,
the pain,
the agony,
the sheen of tears,clouding,overwhelming everything
and it just about tears me apart knowing I caused it.
The tight grip in my chest does not ease,
even though I know this is the right thing to do.
Even as I walk away,I feel a part of me stay with him,
forever locked in his embrace and memories.
The wind caresses me face,drying the flowing tears,
but not the bleeding ache in my heart.
Still,I feel the burdens lift off my shoulders,
and the wounds start to heal again.
My best friend,my better half,my sweet lover,
oh how I will always love him to no end.
