 several feet apart... yet, it feels like miles. I can see into your eyes... the tension... the regret. Will I ever see you again? Love you again? Make love to you again? I don't think so. I have dreaded this moment for so long... knowing that good-bye... this time... would be forever. I have given everything I had to give to this relationship... realizing now that my everything was too much. You have given me pain... confusion... silence... offering no explanation why. Yet, here I am... continuing to stand up for love... continuing to fight to the very end for the one that I know can make me truly happy. The uncomfortable silence is beginning to empower. How long can I stand here... looking into your eyes and seeing nothing? How will I survive the next several days... weeks... years... lifetime... without you? I close my eyes... and even in the darkness of my closed eyes, I see you. you will never completely leave me. If only I could turn back the hands of time... back to a time when things were so simple... so uncomplicated. Back to the time before you told me you loved someone else. I open my eyes... you're still here. I look through tears into your eyes... you have tears of your own. I don't understand. Do you hurt?©  ©Property of the author.
