Three Questions

What was it like to love him ? Asked Gratitude.

It was like being exhumed, I answered. And

brought to life in a flash of brilliance.

 

What was it like to be loved in return ? Asked Joy.

It was like being seen after a perpetual darkness, I

replied. To be heard after a lifetime of silence.

 

What was it like to lose him ? Asked Sorrow.

There was a long pause before I responded :

 

It was like hearing every goodbye ever said to

me—said all at once.

-Lang Leav
