You & I

You meet someone.

You think she's really nice, really pretty and could actually be someone you see yourself with 10 years down the line. Even then, you've been hurt before by things you've never been (this) sure about, so you try to not make a big deal about it.

But inside your head and your heart, you know you've already fallen for her.

You begin talking to her, not worrying about the future but still picturing your perfect life together with her already. You share experiences, desires, your whole lives with each other. Yet still, you use the healing from past wounds as an excuse to keep yourself from getting too attached to her. (And still, you look forward to every weekend only because you get to hang out with her, even if it's with your whole group of friends)

Your professional life takes a dive; you decide to go away for a while. Yet, you still keep in touch. You keep on sharing, you keep on dreaming.

And then, one day, she bails. Without reason, without rhyme, without closure.

She's gone. She's out.

She's with someone else.

You see her 6 months later. She's happy, and she's not with you.

You're broken. And all you want at this moment right now is not closure, but her in your arms telling you the things she's telling him, consoling you with the words she's consoling him with, making time for you in the time she's making for him…kissing you with the lips she's kissing him with.
