My Heart

I could not believe hearing your words of reassurance. I had been the one treating you badly. And you could sense it. And still found it in your heart to finally ask. And gave me the opening to say everything. How could it be that the most loving person in the world was unavailable to me? Was this some kind of a cruel joke? It really hurt so much. But I knew I was hurting him more. As he said, my true rivals were not his wife and sons but his work and drinking habit. I have never known a love so sincere and so overwhelming. What else did I really need? Wasn’t I happy? Wasn’t this special love really enough? My heart has been broken into a trillion pieces and I don’t think I can recover.
