Drenched to the Bone ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- . I pulled my car up to our house, and for half a minute I sat in the driver's seat frozen. Even though I wanted desperately to see her, I was paralysed by disappointment. I was hurting so much I almost hid once I got inside. She was moving from room to room taking away her things. I was so used to her beside me that for a moment her presence convinced me nothing was wrong. Every object from the house that she packed into her car my heart wanted to salvage and reinstate. Then in the living room I saw all our photos taken down off the wall. My hand slid over the old wood of our mantle piece where our stupid cute knick knacks were, and I couldn't breathe. Past events could not be reversed so it was hard to say anything. I needed to forgive. I can't remember who spoke first, but when I finally put my arms around her, it was all over. A month and a half before, I thought we had rescued everything. The night before, it all ended on the phone. 5:18 p.m. - Saturday, May. 24, 2008 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
