That man was my whole life. He felt... he felt like the first breath when you step outside after rain falls, like when you peer out your window and see nothing but sunlight and birds, and grass so vibrant it felt like the first time you've ever seen it. Like the first dip into a clear pool of water, disturbing the glass-like finish. He felt like opening up a new book, eager to know what happens in the end. Only this ending broke me. He was my Achilles Heel.
