Rook

It’s been less than a year

11 months to be precise

I didn’t see it coming

Thought I was finally settled, closing that chapter with you for good

You were easy to love, the center of my conversations.

Yesterday, I realized something was wrong. It was too late for me to do anything about it. In the morning, I woke up ready to release you but you released me.

Some things are not meant to last forever, much as we want them to. All we can do is constantly create an environment for ourselves that makes them continually choose to be part of it.

I am grateful for the moments you chose to share with me and how long or short that was.

Rook, you left too soon but thank you for letting me have you, for letting me know you, for letting me love you.
