| When I saw you today, I felt my heart explode. In one instant, it stopped completely - by utter shock of who you were with. Then as I watch you two shop, I saw what we must have looked like years ago. Your eye stroking him as if they were your hands. You would weave through the racks of clothes, men's clothes, something for him. You looked as beautiful as the day I met you. And for the almost twenty years that I have known him, he has never walked more proud, to be by your side. I understood. I have been there. This went on for only minutes, but to me, it seemed like hours. My heart was silent. For two years, I have waited to see you. To talk to you. To see if you still felt the same passion for me as I do for you. And then, as he entered the dressing room. I could wait no longer and approached. You turned as I touched your shoulder. The dark dressing area lit up as if there were 100 movie cameras pointing at you. I felt pale on the inside and out. You asked how I was. I replied "not so good". "I saw you with Scott", I said. "I know" you replied. I hoped to see some sort of something in your eyes other than happiness. There wasn't. I had to ask, "Why". You said "not here". Before another word could be said, the dressing room door opened. As I moved out of the way to avoid awkwardness, I felt the fuse to my heart spark to life. I circled around to the other side of the dressing areas but I did not see you. I positioned myself so I could see the dressing rooms. As time passed, I felt awful but I couldn't move. My eyes were affixed to the dressing room door. I should've left. I didn't want to know if you entered or not but I couldn't move. Then the door opened, you peered around the corner as if to check to see who was, or was not, there. The he emerged. Boom! |
