For five years, we were the couple everyone admired, the template for a perfect love story. When I asked you to make it permanent, you walked away and left that template in pieces. Two years have passed. Now you’re here, a guest in the back of this church, watching me perform the role of a happy groom. My smile is for the crowd, but my eyes keep finding you, haunted. I take her hands, her crimson lips a stark contrast to the hesitation in my grip. The vows are spoken, but when I look at you, the words turn to ash in my mouth. 'I do,' I whisper, binding myself to a future without you. You can’t bear it. You turn away, the boy you loved finally lost, and the weight of your own choice crashes down.
