Moving on

So I wrote this today and I'm not sure exactly what it is or what it means, but I know it means something. It means something to me and I wanted to share it, maybe it will mean something to someone else too.

She had problems
He had solutions
Together they were going to change the world
He cheated
She stayed
She could never walk out on the one she loved
He was troubled
And she was not
In life you need someone to keep you sane
She was his someone
But he couldn't accept that he needed her
He was independent
He loved her but was convinced that he wasn't in love with her
She was head over heels
She knew that he was everything she always wanted
He was her prince
Her knight in shining armor
He saved her
She chained him up
He felt bound
Locked, chained and cuffed by her
He felt smothered
Some would argue that he was
Others would say she just loved him
And when you love someone you cling to them
You enjoy being around them
Seeing them
Talking to them
And even sitting with them in silence
She loved everything about him
His smile
And the way his nose scrunches when he laughs
His eyes
And the way they sparkle when he's excited
His smell
And the way it lingers on everything he touches
She was intoxicated
He was sobering up
Things change, people change
And he was no exception
He decided he was going to leave
And that's exactly what he did
She woke up alone
Brushed her teeth alone
And the note explaining everything
Proved she really was alone
He moved his things out little by little
And when they ran into each other
He would stare at the ground, ashamed.
She cried a lot
But eventually it got easier
And when she met someone else
He was the one left feeling queasy
She didn't invite him to the wedding
Or the baby shower six months after
And when they ran into each other later
And the swell of her stomach was impossible to ignore
He congratulated her and whispered that "It should of been him."
She smiled and whispered back "I'm happy it wasn't."
She walked away rubbing her stomach and thinking about her husband
The man she loved more than anyone in the whole world
Including him.
