On a cold Saturday, he smiles at me in the middle of our conversation and says: "Remember how different we each were two years ago? We've come such a long way." I smile at him and reply: "My God, we really have."
Four years later and this conversation still replays in my head I think my subconscious was hoping that replaying it would eventually make my conscious understand
... Would eventually make me understand
How did we come a long way?
How did we get this far?
We were walking in opposite directions.
A play on words (opposite directions = greater distance = far = long way). A woman realizes that unknowingly drifting apart from the man that she loved, made her improve as an individual.
