My legs tremble beneath me. My arms lay paralyzed at my sides. I want so badly to reach out to you and touch your cheek where I kissed it yesterday, or your shoulder where my head lay last night. I want to retrace your smile and reenact your laughter.
Your face is stone cold now and the man staring back at me I do not recognize. There is hatred beneath your gaze, fixated on me.
What have I done?
But I've been here with you before. This dying inside comes naturally to me. And here on the ground lying in a sea of should-have's, this is home.
