Goodbye

Today they said their goodbyes. Tears in their throats knowing that this goodbye carried with it, a possible finality. A forced painful nine month separation into a land where many a husband have never returned. She is left sitting, waiting, and loving him from afar.

In this same day another farewell existed. She spoke to him, believing he could hear her. Her words were filled with a subtle mix of desperation and the truest of love. Nothing more does she want than to have her lover grow alongside her. To face a world without him is bleak and gray. Here she is left with a heart that is broken.


Shalom.
