joexnzYou think you're doing okay
And then you see them again, on the street, on Facebook
And they look so much like the person you wanted to be with, before they became the version the two of you created.
That your breath catches, your mind freezes and all the old scars ache and throb
You know that isn't as bad as when they left or the months before that
But the distance between then and now seems a few steps and not the leagues it took you to get here.
You see them happier with a new person than you ever remember making them. And you can't decide if you are angry or sad about it, mainly it just hurts.
You look at your new lover, and wonder if you could ever be as happy with them. And you can't decide if you want them to love/destroy you like that, because mainly it'll just hurt.
It will pass, sooner rather than later this time.
It has passed, there have been harder moments than this.
But this is one of a lifetime of moments you'll endure, a law of diminishing returns as everything you ever meant to each other, good or bad, fades out existence.
