New Beginnings
Break-ups are never easy, but Alex had offered him a clean break.
They had been engaged,
not he and Alex, but he and --
they had met in an astrophysics class,
they had bonded over both being happa, over a love of the stars.
They had argued about settling down after marriage;
he wasn’t ready.
He awoke one morning alone,
the ring on the pillow next to him,
and woke alone every morning after.
Alex had offered him a clean break, and he took it.
A Morgan ready to leave,
to step into shoes not his,
to step into a void filled by a she --
He left because it wasn’t easy,
but he stayed -
He stayed because it was.
