It wasn’t that long ago that when you looked at me your eyes danced like sparks in a flame. There was no need for me to worry about us as I saw how you felt in each and every look. Did you see the same from me? Or did the darkness that gnaws at my soul, cloud the love I felt for you and kept it hidden from view? If so then I am truly sorry.
That seems like a lifetime away now.  Your eyes regard me kindly now. But there is no longing there, no trace you miss me and wish things were different. Occasionally I think I see a quick burst there but it goes very quickly as if a happy memory flitted fleetingly across your mind.
That has been the hardest thing to deal with and despite a part of me fighting to retain the pain and hurt, it has become easier as time has passed.
The world stopped that night.  One day it will turn again.
