you let go of me like threads on an old button no longer intertwined you were once my support you held me together you held me tight and close slipped from my grip you said everything happens for a reason i saw it as treason you never gave me a reason you betrayed your own heart love how can someone so beautiful be so hideous on the inside that I will never know

The last day I had an encounter with someone I truly loved, I held on to their hands tightly and slightly pulled on the sleeve of their coat. A button on the sleeve came off easily since only one hole was supported by the thread of the coat lining. I kept the button. I had struggled to be a part of this person's life for almost four years. Each hole on the button represented a year. The last year was the year I finally had to learn to let go.
