When do you stop being you?

Is it the moment you take another name?

Say your “I do” and pledge to be with someone until the very end?

—

Meeting him was meant to be, right?

It has to be. How else could someone so perfect be interested in you?

Like he was carved from clay and shaped to be yours alone.

—

So when do you stop being you?

When two pieces of paper create a life

Then destroy it. Simple. Final.

—

He wants a divorce.

He’s met someone new.

He stopped loving you when you stopped being you.
