I couldn't believe the emptiness as you left me here on the edge of town. The stinging feeling I had as I walked down this path for two alone. I felt at that moment that I always knew that my trip had to be a solitary one but I did not know that it would come this soon. As I passed by the others walking side by side the deafening silence that I was left with became a reality. At first I thought that my trip was one that would be filled with sorrow so I sang it to the passer bys but they did not want to here my sad song because they them selves had found the happiness I so desperately thought I had found but now looking back I see that it was only the shards of something that could never be mine. As time passed I started to envy those who had found their happiness and felt my self slipping into this dark and with each passing day I lost that which I thought once made me whole. As I walked along broken down beside those who seemed to be complete I realized that my loneliness was of my own making and the hate I felt for the ones walk with me was misplaced because I had no one but myself to blame. This realization is what helped me out of the dark that had become my whole being and started to lead me back to the place I was once at as you had walked beside me. I now was no longer blinded by my hate and knew that even though I was now walking my path alone I had once walked it with you and had for but a brief moment felt what those who I envied now had each day. No longer blinded I saw that what I once called happiness was only my attempt at walking the same path as the passer bys. But I now know that my path is my mine and mine alone.
