Love Died Before I Did
“I knew you weren’t dead! They lied to me, but I didn’t listen to them. You love me! You’d forgive anything I did. You’d never leave me! I’ve been waiting, and you’re here. You’re not mad at me anymore, are you…”
He crawled toward me on his knees and hugged my legs, burying his face against me. I shoved him away with all my strength.
Then, like a woman who had never loved him at all, I said coldly, “No. I don’t love you anymore. The moment you had your first affair, you started wearing down my love. Bit by bit, you destroyed it. And now, there’s nothing left.”
I looked down at him. “This is our last meeting. You live your life, and I’ll live mine. Separately.”
