Alone

Her knees shook and then finally gave out beneath her. She dropped heavily into the couch, staring blankly at the door in front of her. The sound of it's gentle closing rang harshly in her ears. He left me, she thought. He just left me. Her throat caught now; her eyes burned. She had done so well up until now. She hadn't really believed he would leave. Unconsciously she gripped her knees. Her hands were shaking, and she was feeling light-headed. Doesn't he know how well we fit? Doesn't he know ...? She half expected him to walk back in the door, with that look on his face, the look he got when he was feeling foolish. She couldn't believe he was really gone. What do I do now? She could hear his soft voice inside her head. What am I supposed to do without him? Doesn't he know how much I need him? A single teardrop seared a hot line down her cheek. She cried for a very long time.
