Chapter 1

Goodbye, Darling.

Those metal doors were the only thing standing between us.

Our eyes locked as time stood still.

You watched me as the elevator doors closed. 

My heart dropped with the floors. 

8 to 1 in the matter of seconds.

That was closure.

For a moment I felt nothing.

As I walked out of that elevator a gust of wind slapped me with the harsh reality - I will never see you again. 

This was the last time.

One last time to prove to me you were the person I thought you were.

Don't you see?

I just wanted you to be the person you said you were.

This was the last time.

I was silly to think you may try to stop me or even follow after me. 

Once again, I gave you too much credit.

I blinked back the tears for tomorrow is a new day and it only gets goes up from here, right?
