(Softly)
I’ll never forget the day...
you broke the world beneath my feet.
The truth didn’t whisper.
It didn’t knock.
It crashed.
Like a wave I didn’t see coming —
and I shattered…
in silence.
(beat)
Crashing into the couch we once shared,
where our laughter used to echo,
where time… used to feel kinder.
There, I fell.
Heavy.
Into the weight of disbelief.
Into the hollow space between what was…
and what would never be again.
Tears didn’t fall —
they stormed.
They poured from a soul
that didn’t know how to hold itself anymore.
I cried until I vanished.
Until my spirit
curled in the corners of that room
where love used to live…
where love used to whisper.
(pause)
I knocked myself out
just to escape the ache.
Woke up…
to stillness.
A moment so silent
it was loud.
Listening to the hum of life
outside that window…
feeling the breeze say,
“breathe.”
But all I could think was:
I wish I could’ve done more.
(beat)
But deep down…
we both knew.
It was already over.
(pause)
Somewhere along the road,
I lost myself.
The version of me
who loved you with such purity…
such fire.
But even in the losing,
I kept giving.
I kept showing up.
I gave you my love.
My care.
My heart.
All of it — for you.
(pause — let it sit)
And now…
now I stand here,
grief in one hand,
gratitude in the other.
And I whisper…
Goodbye.
(softly)
I’m thankful.
For the beauty.
For your laugh
lighting up the darkness.
For the dreams we dared to dream,
side by side.
Those memories…
they’re stitched into the fabric of me.
(beat — warm)
I see you now —
smiling in a world I no longer belong to.
And I’m glad.
Truly.
That you’ve found your peace.
Even if it’s not with me.
(firmly, with quiet pride)
I did my part.
I showed up.
I loved you right.
And that love —
it’ll never turn bitter.
Not here.
Not in this heart.
(beat)
I’ll always wish you peace.
Always hold a light for you —
not to rekindle…
but to remember.
To honor…
what we had.
(softly, almost a whisper)
My love.
My soul.
My bubba.
(gentle, final)
Goodbye… my wife.
You’ll always be a part of me.
Even from afar
