people say nights are the hardest,
and it's a fair argument.
because at night you long for them;
what else is there to do?

but in the morning,
it's all new.
you wake from a deep sleep,
unknowing of what is to come,
and what has happened.

there is a brief second when you forget.
but as soon as you're conscious -
as soon as you feel the sun beating down
on your tired eyes -
you remember.
and your heart breaks once again.
