A Soft Breeze

Seeing a lover after a unexpected separation...

In my head I ask why, in my heart I know why.

I stood opposite you with only air and a soft breeze to separate us. My guard was down, all the memories of pain and deceit come flooding back. I store at the floor unable to glance up at you even once. Ringlets of my hair brush against my face as the breeze carries it. My heart seemed to sink into the pit of my stomach.

When I eventually did look up all I saw was the you that I fell in love with. The well dressed, sweet, innocent, caring man who appeared just to be a distant memory. That cheeky smile you use to wear gone from sight and in its place it left a solemn emotionless expression. It felt wrong as if you were tainted.

I questioned myself. Was I merely fooling myself into thinking you hadn't changed? That everything was as it was, before us? I looked back down catching you slowly examining me. Overwhelmed with hurt I quickly began to tear up. Why am I here I murdered under my breath.

We stood opposite each other with only the air and soft breeze to separate us.
