Where did you go? I’ve got this empty chair in the distance. You used to sit there. We’d spin around together just hoping that this day would never come.

The day I had to miss you.

Did you leave? Are you never coming back? Will this chair never carry your weight again? Am I going to be alone?

I told you we could fix it together. You didn’t have to be alone. Together we would face all the fears you have. I didn’t want you to go.

I know I wasn’t perfect, I never expected you to have it all figured out. I can’t tell you how badly I wanted you to not have to live up to that expectation.

Here I am, sitting next to an empty chair. This is where I’ll stay. I hope for the day when we’ll spin again.
