          After the way she mercilessly broke up with him in a text message, he had fallen apart. His heart shattered into so many pieces he couldn\u2019t count. He tried to put a band aid on them but what good is a band aid for a deep wound? He hadn\u2019t seen this coming. Yes, they had contrasting personalities. Yes, he couldn\u2019t understand her social anxiety or her panic attacks. Yes, she couldn\u2019t understand his perception. But, he never thought she would leave him. He couldn\u2019t imagine his life without her. Even after keeping his ego aside, crying in front of her and explaining to her all his good qualities, she wouldn\u2019t budge. Even when he was shy, he told her how much he loved her and how in his future he could only see her, their kids and their many dogs living happily together as a family. He let out all those words which he was too scared to tell her and when he let them out, it was just too late. She was done, just like that. And he came undone, just like that.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

          He began to drink so much more to remember all the times he spent with her. He began to look at her photos and their photos together wondering if he could just pause his life and rewind it to a happy place. Her smile was beautiful with a bit of shyness in it and her every smile in every photo led him to more tears. He began to re-read his diary to the best days they spent together. At first, he began to crawl on the memory lane only to end up running towards the beginning of it with resting in solitude and nostalgia of happiness and love. Instead of ignoring the sadness, he embraced it and let it sink it in him so much so, that it became a part of who he was. Instead of giving fake smiles, he gave real tears. Instead of pretending to be okay, he let himself, for once, be vulnerable. Instead of thinking about himself, he thought about her. Instead of loving each other, they decided to part ways, because love is never enough. <\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
