With those simple words, he broke my heart. Driving an irrevocable wedge between us, ending any hope of finding the love we once shared. Everything inside me felt crushed into a million pieces knowing that it was truly over. Those words repeated in my head, reminding me just how much things had changed. Feeling the tears drip down my cheek, I didn't even have the strength to wipe them away anymore. That's all I have done since I heard those soul crushing words.

Part of me, tried to question what my heart already knew. Does he really feel that way?

Did he just say that to hurt me?

Does he know how much damage he caused with just those simple words?

For the first time in my life, I had nothing left to say. Speaking would have been impossible with the giant lump in my throat. Those words told me everything I needed to know. If he truly believed that…Then… nothing really matters anymore.

I wanted to run as far away as I could go, just seeing his face, hearing his voice, sent a stabbing pain through the center of my heart. How could I face life without the man I love? The one, I thought, loved me more than anything; that would be with me no matter what, that together we were strong enough to make it through everything.

But now I know, it was all just a lie, a fantasy or fairytale that I made up in my head.

I realized that I was only here because I had nowhere else to go.

Do I just carry on, faking my way through each day? When people ask… do I just say… fine.

I just … never thought I would hear him say something like that to me. If I hadn't been looking into his eyes, I would have never believed it came from him. He went too far, and there is no turning back.

It's over.
