You wandered into the world, wide-eyed and in awe of everything.
We've had this word before.
It was a harsh statement. And I just stared at you, not quite understanding. I don't love you anymore.
I often wondered where you were those days. What you were doing. If you were alone or sharing your soul with someone. I hope that you are sharing it, because I remember what that was like. Holding a tiny piece close to my heart because it shined so brightly. It felt like a hug from a friend you hadn't seen in awhile. It felt like home.
I was swept away by life. And you were still, immobile. Watching. And soon I had floated away from your sight.
Give me an example. Please show me how someone loves again.
I made an example of you. I reduced you to moments and facts.
This was the final chance. The last opportunity to speak the words. I love you. I always have. I always will. But he just stared at her. And she kissed him softly on the corner of his lips.
You never wanted the specific details. Never cared that stardust filled my lungs or that my hair had broken meteors tangled in.
She watched as he pushed the stroller smoothly, just a hint of hesitation in the way his body moved. She smiled slightly, deja vu washing over her as her mind remembered a similar scene from centuries and centuries ago. The baby inside cooed softy and perfectly. The young man's eyes widened in recognition that he was doing something right. Yes, she remembered a similar scene from centuries and centuries ago. And the whisper of familiarity told her that he was going to be just fine.
