A shattered heart

Day by day,
little by little,

his life became part of my own.

His routines.
His worries.
His dreams.

Somewhere along the way,
I stopped imagining a future without him in it.

Then one day,
he chose to leave.

And suddenly,
all that remained were the pieces I couldn’t take with me—

a shattered heart,
broken promises,

and a life that no longer knew
where to place all the love
that was meant for him.
