I put my hand on her shoulder. What if she really doesn’t need me as much as I think she does? She continues washing without looking at me. She was here long before me and hopefully long after I’m gone, I continue to myself. I walk away and continue about…

I gave her the best of my love, but she didn’t see it. So, I waited, tried to let her know what I meant, then waited some more, but nothing happened. So, I had to turn around and give myself the best of my love. Solitude, I realized, had been…
