Who are you?

A message to a strange person who meant everything for me.

Last night we were talking and I couldn't recognize your voice, you sounded really weird like I was talking to someone else. Your words are not the same anymore, it feels like you're hiding something, something that will destroy me but you cannot say it.

Who are you? you're not the person I fell in love with. I thought we're going through an ordeal but we're not, you changed and I'm waiting for that day when you won't be here anymore; it would be such a lamentable thing.

We've been through so many months of struggle and suffering but not both of us, I was the only one suffering. 

I guess I will wait for that day when we're wandering the streets aimlessly and we meet by chance, I will ask you the same question. Who are you?

This is very brilliantly conceived & written. I was transfixed thru the whole thing as I read & imagery was flitting thru my brain, reminding me of the various times in life when this situation was upon me. The hardest thing in life is when two people in love grow in different directions & it happens pretty often unfortunately. You've painted one such scene here that helped us feel how it really feels. The thing I like the very best of all about your observations is the way you are not injecting any blame, but simple describing the truth of how it feels.

Aloha, the hurt is strongly conveyed, as is the feeling of loss. A difficult place for any couple to find themselves. Well expressed. Izzy
