I manage to look at him one last time and his face looks sympathetic. He turns away and walks out the door. I hear the jingle of the car keys and the slam of the car door. I collapse to the floor just inches from the couch. The tears really start to flow as the car starts. I bring up my knees and bury my head in them. I hear the car drive away.

I now find myself in the same position on the ground. I rock back and forth. His emotions, his words didn’t make very much sense, but one thing was clear. The guy that I was building a lifetime with, the guy that I opened myself too, and the guy that said always and forever is gone. It wasn’t long enough and the goodbye i never saw coming did. Never plan for forever, just plan to be hurt for just as long.
