I wonder where Ruth is now,
a sweet woman I once loved
and was married to for 7 years
until my introvert nature and
her extrovert nature became
at odds with our love.
She began spending more
time with friends than with
homebody me.
Decades after we divorced,
Ruth died in her early 50s,
of what I don’t know.
I read of her death in an
obituary online and felt
so sorry for her.
Despite our marriage and
our love not working out,
I would have liked her to
have a long and happy life.
And I wonder where Ruth
is now.
