I knew you were gone when I said, “Tell me a story” and you said you didn't have any anymore. I knew you were gone when I said, “how was your day?” and you responded with just “good.” I knew you were gone when I told you about my day and you didn't tell me to tell you more. I knew you were gone when you said, “Stop that. It annoys me.” I never annoyed you before. I knew you were gone when you said, “all we ever do anymore is fight.” I wish I knew how to stop that. I knew you were gone before you even left. I kept hoping we’d get better. But we didn’t. I knew you were gone when you said, “Thank you for this.”
