Are you confused when I talk to her in our language, yet it is completely out of context, you just laugh it off because you have no idea?
Are you confused when I do not look into your eyes, let out a weary, wicked smile; and you think I just daydream, but the night is already here?
Are you confused when your phone keeps ringing as if somebody has been frustrated to hear your voice even just for one minute, yet I just leave you there?
Are you confused when the things I used to do for you are slowly disappearing, and your passionate questions just hang unanswered in the air?
Are you confused when the apartment looks exactly the same, clean and a little neater perhaps, but you can no longer smell the aroma of my hair?
Are you confused when they ask you why we broke up, why someone like me would leave someone like you, and you really do not know what to share?
My dear, I was even more confused than that. I was not myself with you any more, but when I really saw you – I made up my mind and could not be late for another minute.
