On First Heartbreak
Tears & Devastation.
It doesn't get worse than that very first one-the heartbreak that got away-when the world feels like it's collapsing around you and there is no room to catch your breath. Friends and family assure you that this too shall pass but, in the thick of, the end is beyond visibility and, in fact, they don't realize that this will last forever. After all, (s)he was the knees bees, beyond perfection, and in spite of the thousand and one ways this was never going to work out, it actually should have. Until you wake up one morning with the sun shining through the blinds in a way that went unnoticeable for months and all of a sudden you realize you've forgotten the color of their favorite [insert (flower/record album/iphone cover] and the future seems ever-so-slightly less bleak than it did the day before because it actually is and, just maybe, there is hope for the possibility that this was meant to be. Enjoy!

You are such a great writer! And sensitive. A book is in there, somewhere.
ReplyDeleteAgree with Stormy. (Can we write one together so I don't have to go at it alone?)
