All for the sake of today, he wrote upon his wall.
He wrote it upon his wall as he remembered that it had been his actions the very ones that had now brought him to where he was today.
He had multiple times voiced that he didn’t want her by his side. He did not, and truly rejected, entering on a new road of life with someone by his side.
And now, here he was.
Exactly where he had said he wanted to be, alone, and utterly living a life with no one by his side.
But “all for the sake of today” he repeated to himself out loud as he walked a few steps backwards away from the wall and looked upon the written words brightly shining on the freshly painted wall.
Paint dripping off the letters “A” of All and “day” of today.
His heart wrung with anguish at the thought that yet again another had walked away.
She had walked away, and though he knew he had told her clearly he didn't want her, he also knew it had been his intention for her to hold on to him just a little longer. If only they could fight, just one more time.
If only they would try, just one more time, he would be able to see that they were truly committed. Yet, none of them stayed.
All walked away.
And it was for the best in the end, he knew.
For alone he had grown to live and alone
he would grow to die.
