Definition: I should have abandoned you, but I didn't because I love you so much.
The abandoned car sat idly on the side of the road, its owner long since gone. It was a relic of a bygone era, but it had remained on this winding road for years, a reminder of a lost cause. As I approached it with caution, I couldn't help but feel an overwhelming sense of sadness at what had once been so beautiful. The car's doors had been shut and the windows locked tight, reflecting the emptiness in the space where they should have held someone's home. My heart sank as I realized that the last time this car passed by me was ten years ago. It must have been a time when it felt like everyone around it had forgotten about it, maybe even abandoned it altogether. But now, here it sat, abandoned and alone, with nothing but memories of the past to hold on to. As I took my leave, I couldn't help but wonder what it might be like for those who had once been close to this car. Would they have mourned its passing or rejoiced in its absence? And would they remember its stories of lost love and missed opportunities? I made my way back home, feeling a sense of loss that lingered long after I had left the abandoned car behind. But as I did, I couldn't help but wonder what might have happened if we had known for sure about what it meant to be "abandoned" in its own time. In the end, however, the fact that this car remained on the side of the road was just another reminder of the fleeting nature of time and the inevitability of change.
