It’s over. It’s over. It’s over.

My mind is a broken record playing the same depressing soundtrack until my ears begin to bleed. You were everything to me. My lover and best friend simply vanished. There is no such thing as a knight in shining armor that will whisk an ordinary and forlorn girl off her feet. The story doesn’t always end with, “and they all lived happily ever after.” Happiness fades into tears and heartache, and companionship ends with loneliness.

There won’t be anyone to gaze in awe at the sun with me as it paints the sky at dusk. Rainy Friday nights will be a fraction of the fun when I watch old Disney movies and realize that I have to snuggle with my teddy bear and not you. Tales of our adventures will only come alive again in my dreams. Pictures of our fondest memories must be burned; even the slightest thought of you triggers tears.

My map with all the answers and carefully planned routes was tossed in the trash, leaving me confused and lost. Here I am with my shattered heart in one hand watching your car as you drive away. I’m broken. I want to thank you for the good times, and forgive you for the bad. I guess this is it.

Goodbye, my dear friend.
