Hamster's Last. (Hamster's Letter 6)

My Dearest Hamster,

At last I know heartbreak.
I had previously claimed it, but that was a secondhand taste.

Now it is mine.
The taste, richly bitter.
The pain, stings and does not fade.
My tears, salty.
I held the glass, swirled the wine, and gulped it all down.

I had no choice but to wave goodbye.

Nothing, that was all I could do.
My options do not exist,
I am powerless.
With a clenched jaw, I must accept what has transpired.

Did you know it was all for you?
My distance?
Did you know my growth was primarily for you?
Now, I will never show you.
You will never appreciate it,
You will never love me,
We will never grow, even more, together.

With whom do I share this with?
I have been alone for too long.

So here I stand, with tears in my eyes, and acceptance forced into my heart.
A happiness for you, illuminating the darkness.
Like the Sun piercing through murky skies.
I smile,
And return the gesture, waving you away in your final goodbye.

Farewell Hamster.

Forever yours,
Ade.
