What you get is what you see,
Years seem like days as we approach our union,
Our separate lives become one,
Our different becomes the same,
Who made this choice,
We said yes…

Always so much to talk about…

This opening story may not be mine, true and partially embellished, but true none the less, but on many and most of the levels, I understand and empathize. Just as I do not know how this will end, I do not know where mine will progress.

His dark sordid eyes look to hers. “This is the last time we’ll see each other,” he sealed with a “final” kiss. He closed her door, but was quite away of the river of tears that careened down her face.

She sat in her car crying, as he, pained, drove home. The man that she had loved in the past was now unwillingly telling her goodbye for the last time. She image of Starbucks reflected sickeningly in her rearview, as she said goodbye to this man who had already left. Driving she had to pull over to clear the pain and tears from her heart before returning home.

He drove hating himself, knowing that he still loved her, and that decision they made 14 years ago now threatened everything that he knew. His mind slowly returned to Monday as he nervously sat in Starbucks waiting seeing her again. She had broken his heart without an explanation, and their love had been arrested…so he thought. They would never have a resolution. Prior to this meeting, they had aired and explained unsaid words.
