Grief.

It was my heart that was affected the most. My mind still works the same, unaffected by past events. Everything still functions the same, even though the thoughts are there, the ones where I go to talk to you and I realise that you’re gone.


The grief isn’t a part of my mind; I don’t feel it there. It’s deep within my heart. Each time I see a photograph of you and I, or someone mentions your name, I can feel it, seeping up through the arteries of my pumping heart. Then, once the feeling of grief has come to the surface, I feel my heart explode shattering into a million pieces once again.

“She doesn’t say it very much” Nikki stood there staring out to sea, her breathing calm.

“Pardon?” Mike turn to the young woman, confusion evident in his eyes.

“Kate, She doesn’t it very much, that’s why when she says it she really means it.”

“I’m confused, Say what?” Nikki turned to look him in the eyes. The look in them was unfamiliar to Mike.

“I Love You” Mike breathed in deeply and shifted his gaze to the ocean.
Now he knew what that look was, she knew about the past. she knew that Mike broke Kate’s heart.

“Oh.” Mike mentally slapped himself. He should have stayed.

Kate had said that she loved him and he just left her. No explanation. Nothing.
