Even in our most intimate moments, it was always obvious that his heart wasn't in it. Oh, I know he's not a coward, couldn't be if he tried. Still, disappearing from my life has always been his favorite method of dealing with any problems we had. Looking back, I guess he must have always gone to his other love. A sigh escapes.
Life is funny, in a morbid sort of way.
When we started this journey thru destiny all those years ago, I was the one with the most to live for. The day I first met him, I had everything. It never occurred to me that those things wouldn't always be there. Soon the family that I had always taken for granted was ripped from me by a war I wanted nothing to do with. My world was turned upside down by the secrets of the past.
