Confession

 

I held it inside.  I knew it coming, I said, so I was okay.  I went on normally.  I don’t let people see me sad, and I especially don’t cry.  It was inevitable.  There was nothing I could do, so I was okay, I said.  If it was brought up, I quickly moved away from the subject to avoid the forbidden emotion that would undoubtedly follow.  And I wouldn’t be able to stop it.  I wouldn’t even let myself think about it for the same fears.  Even behind closed doors, I didn’t want to experience that raging flow of pain.  So I didn’t think about it.  I had to be strong like everyone though I was.  So I was fine about it.  I was okay, I said.

 

But I’m not okay and never will be.  You were the only one that I ever loved unconditionally.  You were always there for me.  You were the only I’d cry around, because I knew you wouldn’t judge me; you’d just cuddle up beside me until I was better.  You were loyal to me in a way that you’d never be to anyone else.  You trusted me with you entire heart.  And that time you left, I knew you’d come back no matter what happened, and you did.  You would never have broken my heart like that.  You would’ve never hurt me.  You hated him for making me cry all the time, and you treated him the way I always wanted to.  I hope you know how much I loved you and would give anything to have you back.  Absolutely anything and everything.  I miss you more than words will ever be able to express.  I’ll never be able to replace you.  I wish I could tell you how much I love you one more time.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

To my cat.

I wasn't expecting that to be about a cat- but it was moving, nonetheless.

I guess that's the magic of expression- people can interpret it in their own way.

This definitely reaches out to the reader, and pulls them in.

Aw, that twists your heart into a wistful form doesn't it? It's sad and sweet. Great job!
