She had walked into this Diner hundreds of times and each time was a memory engrained in her mind and heart. Each moment she spent with him was more precious than every other moment in her life and she treasured them with love. Locked glances,locked hands and refleections of smiles on the glass table top. Rain made the date sensual and sun filled it with blithe. Be it rain or sun each day was perfect. Maybe too perfect to last.
Today when she stepped into that diner, the sun was hurting, the place felt alien and the strangers stared at her like they were taunting her. Nothing seemed to give her joy anymore. Her world crumbled to dust around her. Her life so far was after all just a beautiful dream and waking up meant realizing she has nothing to live for. But she also knew he did not deserve dying for.
Deserting her was the most cowardly thing he could have done. All he has for her is an apology. An apology, he expects, would heal the heartbreak and the devastation she is experiencing. He assums a 'sorry' can wipe away every dream that they ever dreamt together and make the years of love and vows disappear. How can he not notice the pain in her eyes and the scars on her heart that no apology can undo?
She walked towards the table by the window and sat there all by herself, her hands clasping the warm mug of coffee. It was so not her to feel weak and lost. She was determined to win over her losing heart. As she sat there she exprienced an overwhelming power. Power that was within and all around her. That instant she knew it was time to let go and move on. Her life was more precious and she was much stronger than any forgettable disaster. The strength came from within and the voice came from the depths of her soul shouting out to her that all she needed was herself.
Her hands came together and the strength she gave herself was phonomenal. That day she walked out of that Diner with new vigor and a renewed spirit.

Got to hear "Apologize" song by Timbaland. A liner goes like this "It's too late to apologize..."
I think you wrote it nice but again beautifully written.
Beautiful and truthful words!

Goin same places after the storm has wrecked you, can be devastating in terms of emotional baggage.
