It took me a minute

To realize what she had said

It took an hour for it to fully sink in

The worst thing I’d ever heard

The shadows waned as the hours ticked by

And still I could not wrap my head around it.

Years would pass before I would ever feel whole again.

I hadn’t thought I would be around to see it!

We had been together for so much time.

How could it all be over?

I think it took me more than a decade to realize....

What was really gonna happen to me when she told me she wanted a divorce.
