Her words break me.

I know she’s hurting. I can hear her sobs through the bathroom door.

I don’t leave. I sit on the other side, professing my love to her.

I respect her privacy. I don’t break in. I don’t hold her like I want to. I don’t do any of it. Because for once, I’m giving her space. It’s going to be her choice. She gets to decide when she wants me back.

It was wrong of me to try to trick her into staying.

I realize a baby won’t fix the foundation that was broken. We need to heal our relationship before we add to it.

But I’m not giving up on our dream. One day, we will have a cottage full of love and children. And we’ll never want to spend a day apart. And we’ll look back at these trying times and realize we came out stronger.

I’ll stop at nothing to get there. I will get my sunshine back.

Because she once loved me. I know she can do it again.

But for now, I’ll love her enough for the both of us.
