LIVING LONELY

He placed his keys on the table when he walked in the door...
​​​​
No lights on to light his way...

Feeling his way for the light switch he knew was there somewhere...
​​​​
He knew something was wrong he just never imagined that he was on his way to a heartbreak...

Looking around and he was alone...

Nothing cooking on the stove...

He sat down and waited for her to walk through the door...

Hours slowly pass and the phone rings...

Jumping up to answer before it would stop ringing...

He held his breath a moment before he said hello...

Hoping that he would hear her voice assuring him she was running a little behind and she would be home soon...

His voice dropped when it was her friend on the line.. 

She said she had to cancel the plans they made for tomorrow...

He looked frantically around for a note, a message, anything...

A note was placed on the computer...

Please turn on...

The words on the screen held his eyes not sure if he even blinked...

We don't see each other anymore...

I can't get you on the phone...

I've gone away for awhile to give you your space and the house isn't a home when you're alone more than together...

I don't know if I will be back soon...

I love you!

P.S. Living lonely is always better alone...

Hugs...
