I knew the love wasn’t there anymore, when he’d end with just “goodnight”. A sign so trivial, only a better half can be expected to notice- and I did.
Goodnight, he said simply. Without any accompaniment; no dear to lighten it, no honey to sweeten it. And I knew, it was only a matter of time before even the goodnight would vanish.
It wasn’t the ending that hurt. It was- watching everything evaporate right before my eyes, watching a marriage collapse, brick by brick. Seeing the sand grains float to the ground and knowing there was nothing I could do about it. He had made his choice… for us.

OH sad, but written so well! Interesting how we both wrote about love today, but in an opposite way!

It’s so heartbreaking to be torn apart like that…knowing it is happening, yet hoping it’s not real and then the end comes and the realization tears your heart apart! A very well written, sad story.
