miffed

i'm miffed.

i'm miffed because you made your decision without any consideration of me.

i'm miffed because you are leaving me to carry this burden myself.

i'm miffed because you're leaving behind a pair of oversized shoes, which you know i will have difficulty filling.

i'm terribly miffed, because though you are here, you are not here.

and i'm miffed, because i know i have no right to be miffed, and you have every reason to be selfish.

nevertheless, a small part of me wished that you had just told me first....

anyhow, you have been my teacher and my friend, for that i'm grateful.

so, go, and carve a better future for yourself.
