Blown Away

As she stood to leave, perhaps for their last time together as one, she turned and faced him. They looked at each other with a very great sadness. Each with their own remembrances. So many happy and intimate times together. Surprisingly, in all their years, there were no truly negative memories each could recall, except for this. It all seemed like a preventable tragedy which they would both come to regret. Nonetheless, in spite of each still professing the deepest love for the other, they were allowing the most vital and fulfilling part of their lives to be blown away. Somehow this single moment seemed to outweigh all the others, and they were each incapable of seeing that. Later, they would come to painfully realize that the grass would never be greener elsewhere.
