Time

She wonders how much more she can withstand. How much more can her heart break. 

The emptiness that fills her is so loud, she longs to hear his voice, his laugh. The quiet is amplified by the ticking of the clock, it almost becomes deafening to her, silence is the worst. 

They say time heals, time doesn't heal, with each passing minute the hurt intensifies. She listens to the ticking of the clock wondering is he doing the same. 

They thought they had all the time to be together, all the time to do the things they talked about. She sits there thinking of all the conversations they had regarding their future, their plans growing old together. 

She talks to him telling him how much she loves him how much she misses her, listening to the seconds tick by. Oh how she misses him, her throat starts to hurt, she is familiar with the feeling she starts to cry she knows it is going to be a deep cry she hugs herself wishing it was his arms around her. 

Time goes on around her but to her time has stood still from the day he left.
