Something happens when you share an experience with someone. What you once loved you learn to love to a new level. Memories are built in a place, laughter shared at a secret spot, long talks had at a favorite coffee shop.... And then, when that person leaves, something leaves with them. Those wonderful places lose some of their luster. They take on a different hue—changing from bright to brighter, but then they fade...
A drive through the city now has a different feel. Your joy for living now has a tinge of sadness on the corner. Flooding your mind are new memories only just created days and moments before... wine on the mountain at sunset, walks through the old city, dinner at the restaurant down the street...over and over again, conquering the mountain early in the morning, and coffee runs with double shots in the afternoon.... Check your review mirror— he's not there following behind you with a silly grin on his face. Listen—a laugh, but it's not hers. The room still smells like the last hug you gave before driving away.
It's time to grieve. The tears come... don't stop them. A part of your heart has flown away and dwells across the ocean. You wait for the day when you can retrieve it in their arms once again.
Same same :'( :o) you have my heart.
