He knew that he cloud continue making her happy; continue giving her a wonderful life. But he knew she wouldn’t be fully happy, that she would regret everything. He didn’t want her to be regretful.

Well, it feels like you are wide awake in a distant dream [/b]

By admitting and realizing everything that he knew that would happen and that had never stopped, Aiden was freeing himself. Slowly, he was starting up the process to do the right thing and to starting his life anew.

He admired the girl for her strength. She had gotten over Spencer leaving her. She had become a wonderful wife. She had to grow up fast and she never complained that her life was hard or disappointing. She was a wonderful mother to the children. He admired the girl for being who she is. He admired her for not lying to him. He admired her for her sincerity and for her passion. He would miss her also. He loved her. He can’t lie to himself. He [i]loves[/i] her.

The time that they had been together had pulled them together. It had made both of them stronger. Time had helped build him the perfect life. It was a beautiful masterpiece. The children, the wife, the home, the job, the whole life was a magnificent painting that was now being smashed in front of his face. He knew that this would happen, and he couldn’t even try to protect it. He couldn’t prevent it.

It took our masterpiece we built and broke it in two

I always believed in you

I always loved you[/b]

Aiden turned back facing the window. He pulled up the blankets on both of them, so they could hide from the cool air. He had tried so hard in this relationship to try to make it work. He tried so hard to be the one she loved. He knew she tried so hard for him to love him. He knew that she was trying so hard to deny herself of happiness. There was just no hope for them. It was useless to waste all this time. All this time she could be freely rebuilding her relationship with the blond, where she could freely try to get their relationship back and even better than it once was. He could be moving on, and hopefully he could find someone who would love them equally back.
