Sitting in the space made by her leaving, I'm far from comfy, but no-where-near lonely.
Cooking for one is far from easy and it's easier to succumb to the micro-wavable and the processed in a process that suggests sadness, but in essence is a life past survival and a start of a moving on.
Leaning on past memories for a more reliable sense of self, I walk back beyond the years of this boken partnership.
These years from the off were tainted with discomfort while threaded with laughter and it's the laughter I now follow to earlier layers that might form the start of a fresher, better fitting wardrobe and a comfort that is more than this - sitting in this space of her leaving.
