Our forever was over

He left me that day.

The note on the table stared back at me as a reluctant messenger.

‘love lasts for a while,

when the while is forever,

forever looks a while.’

I read and re-read the note.

Flipped it.

Smelled it.

A tear drop stained it as I held it in my gaze.

Our forever was over.

But it lasted a while.

I knew I had lost him.

I knew we had lost each other.
