When love lies
*“My dearest J,
If I could go back, I would choose you every single time.
I see your face in the morning light, hear your laughter in the silence.
They told me it was wrong. That we were wrong. But how can something so true be a mistake?
I should’ve run after you. I should’ve fought harder. I should’ve been the man you needed me to be.
I write these now because I never stopped loving you.
Yours, even when I’m gone,
Kenneth.”*
I couldn’t hold the tears back this time. They came like the tide steady, unrelenting. The love we lost wasn’t just memory. It lived here, in ink. In confession. In regret.
