THE THOUGHTS I TOOK FOR GRANTED

I said something that night that made her quite upset. I didn`t really expect that kind of reaction because I really said what had to be said from the bottom of my heart. Whatever I said came out spontaneously without much thoughts. Maybe I took things for granted as much of the things had many times came and were gone as fast as I could even spare a second thought. On the contrary I thought it would be just the same unimportant pieces of words that would not be of any impact or for that matter any consequences to her because having known her all those while I just did not expect she`d be that upset about it whatmore sad.

I just felt I was not needed anymore and I didn`t want my existence in her life be some kind of a pest that wouldn`t go away. That was the reason I said what I had to say that night.

`What are you saying pop? Why do you even say such things to me? How could you....?`

She just broke and sobbed like a little girl she had always seemed to be to me. I was just lost and did not dare to utter any more words. I thought I`d set her free that night and she`d be happy and that was the ultimate thing that she wanted. I was so sure that I needed no second thoughts about it.

I was wrong.
