Liban Mohamed - Why Did She Do It?

I miss her whispering into my ears at night.
Our late night calls, and the beautiful long messages we sent to each other at random times.
The re-assuring moment when she always said ‘I Love you’
my replies were always ‘I Love You Too’
I didn’t expect to see anything go wrong in our relationship.
It was flawless; so there was nothing bad
Purity, love and peace is what we had
I loved her for every second, minute, hour and day of my life.
Never did I ever think she we could cut my heart with a knife.
Letting it bleed, bleed to death till it was impossible for me to love her.
We exchanged harsh words for the first time ever, never did I expect to see this moment. And it settles into my heart forever.
She left me.
I was all alone.
I’ve never felt so weak
At home on my own, asking myself ‘ Why? Why? Why? ’
There was no reply.
Emptiness.
Darkness
I became lifeless.
I couldn’t move on.
Then she replied to my question ‘Why did you leave me? ’
‘I couldn’t be with you anymore. I wasn’t what I pretended to be. I was seeing other men. I became cold and dark inside. I couldn’t change my life. I was addicted to this lifestyle. This is what I’ve become and this is how it’ll be. I can’t do this to you anymore. I’m sorry.’
I was heartbroken; she didn’t know I couldn't move on and live.
If only you told me this in person.
I was ready to forgive.
