I hoped you'd come back.

And that it was all just a meaningless phase.

Something preposterous and absurd.

The feeling of hope fluttering inside my chest.

A slice of belief.

And an inkling of optimism.

The incommodious air between us.

It would disappear.

So I hoped.

But it never did.

You were gone

Far out of the grasp of my outstretched fingers.

My hopes were drowning.

Drowning in an ocean of misery.

How stupid I was.

Of course you would never come back.

You were too far gone.
