Have you ever stood in front of the person you used to love, the person you thought you're going to share the rest of your life with when life itself got in the way of that? When days and weeks and months before that you spent every breath wondering if the love was still there, only to realize that as you stare into this strange sight of this person's familiar eyes, love was already gone?
Do you know what it feels like?
-------
You stood before me today. You felt like a familiar stranger, an unknown familiarity.
But I breathe differently around you now. I sigh differently at the sight of you.
A gasp of relief, coupled with a stab to the heart. A comforting calamity, a stormy peace.
