Otto wasn’t supposed to leave me
I believed he wouldn’t leave me
Those close to me told me
He would stay with me
Doctors assured me
That he would be alright
Even with all the doubt
All the disbelief that flooded within me
I still had hope
Now Otto is gone
I sat by him
And watched him leave me
I watched the light of my world dim
I watched as he struggled to hold on
I watched as his breaths got heavier and shorter
I watched as the silence filled the room
And the tears filled my eyes
Yet, I couldn’t open my mouth
To tell him how much I loved him
How beautiful his smile was
How much joy he brought me
My lips were sealed
And now I feel like an envelope
Sealed with regrets
