Things that go... in the night

I was such a coward that I waited until my boyfriend was away and left the apartment that we shared. I simply moved out – took all my stuff. I left him a note saying, “I don’t think it’s working.” But the way I see it, even though I was a lily-livered, yellow, gutless wimp...if I had to resort to doing a moonlight flit…well, something was not right was it?

Mind you, looking back on it I suppose it was a bit harsh leaving like that. Is it too late to say sorry…?
