Pleading My Case

I saw you as more than a friend. I answered all your queries as sanctuary. I embraced your trust as we shared intimacy. I valued your inputs and observed your smiles at life. You are the painting I looked forward to repeatedly. I released my inhibitions. I lived. I love.     -when thinking of you-

I am officially by myself!

I have fought a good fight but am sad to say I am simply too late. A union of 20 years has been dissolved and so has my value to any hopes of true and unconditional love.
I only wanted to stay in love and was left to love alone.
