The days got hotter, and longer it seemed. The heat was intense and unrelenting. Who knew the aftermath would be this severe?
He had stayed, waiting, protecting, hoping to have something for her to return to. The house had sustained minimal damage, but the power continued to remain off. Food had long since been eaten or disposed of. Nothing remains to hold onto, everyone has had left long ago. And yet he still waited.
She had left long ago, way before the storm even approached. She said she had to leave, it was for the best.
He had passed his limits a long time ago, sleep deprived, bordering upon starvation and dehydration. And yet he waited.
He waited because his heart told him to. He stayed because he couldn't forget. He hoped for the love that left.
And that would never change.
