le: The Woman Who Came Before He stood there, staring at the cold stone that marked her final resting place. Her name was still etched into the smooth surface, a constant reminder of the past. He had loved her once, but that love had faded over time, replaced by bitterness and regret. It had been years since he had last visited her grave, and yet he couldn't bring himself to remove her name from the stone. It felt like a betrayal, like he was erasing her from history. Perhaps, in some small way, he was holding on to the memory of what had once been, even if it was painful. He knew that some people would judge him for leaving her name there, even though he had long since moved on and married again. They would see it as a sign of disrespect to his current wife, a reminder of a past life that should be forgotten. But he didn't see it that way. To him, the name on the stone represented a period of his life that had shaped him into the person he was today. It was a reminder of both the good and the bad, of the love and the heartbreak. He couldn't erase those memories, no matter how hard he tried. And so, he stood there, with a heavy heart and a sense of melancholy, knowing that her name would always be a part of his history. He would move forward, with a new wife and a new life, but the woman who came before would always hold a special place in his heart.
