Goodbye

Dear H,

When I said my vows before the God, I had every intention of keeping them. But over the years, I realised that you are not the same man with whom I had fallen in love and to whom I had made solemn promises to in the Temple of God.

People change over years, but their love does not. In our marriage, the love has expired. Neither do we share the same bed, nor the dining table. It’s for the best that I leave now.

The train lurched forward. She looked at him and he at her. Within moments, she was out of his sight. He sighed. Some goodbyes are for the better.
