The Break Up

I am no stranger to relationships coming to an end. I have had my fair share of good-byes through the years, but nothing could have prepared me for the extreme discomfort and the emotional upheaval, this break-up would cause me. I never anticipated the depth of feelings I would experience.
Ours had been THE most beautiful and complete relationship I ever had. There was a level of trust and comfort that existed between us, unlike anything I'd ever experienced before. I always felt safe and protected in our times together. I felt nurtured and cared for beyond what my Mom and Dad were able to give me as a little boy. 
My source for comfort during the sad times. My reason to celebrate during the best of times. My constant companion for life. THE love of my life.
But something was not right anymore. My friends were alarmed, they were telling me I was not looking good. I had lost my mojo. They were serious and insisting I'd change. I had to go through with the break up in spite of how I was feeling. There was no turning back this time.
