it takes maturity to make a relationship work; 
even more maturity to end it graciously

Thank you.

Close friends are dismissive of the whole affair because I almost never talked about him. I wanted to keep everything low-key, and kept what was really between us private. They will never genuinely fathom how much he meant to me.

And yes, it hurts. 
It hurts like no words can describe it.
The pain is real, the loss is palpable.
Another deep wound in the weary and battle-scarred heart.
