When There's No You

I believed, hoped even, 
that soon you'd get better, 
leave the sterile walls
of hospital rooms
behind. 

You did, 
but you left me, too.

It was morning
on a Monday
when the prepositions
I used in front of "you"
changed
from "with" to "without".

Who knew adding 3 letters
would ruin so much?

Who am I now
without you?

I still don't know
fourteen years later.
