Any Title for the Broken

  I could never imagine a future without her in it. She became something permanent, a fixture in my existence. Without her I feel like there's nothing to life. She gave hues of grays in my once black and white skies. 

 But where is she now? 

 What's left for me to hope? 

 She left behind nothing, not even a trace of her silhouette. I tried pushing her at the back of my mind. I tried forgetting everything about her; from her dimpled smile, to her rosy cheeks, to her obsidian hair, to every little thing that I loved about her. Two years passed and thoughts of her never haunted me as often as they did before. And I thought I was finally getting better. I thought I was finally ok. 

 But fate wanted different. 

 And I found myself standing in traffic, rooted between white stripped lines. The sign was starting to turn green but in that moment as she stood from across the road, there was only her and me. The blares of lights and honks of cars faded from the picture and I only saw her. She was the only thing I was aware of and every inch of her consumed me. And a mere glance at her brought this feelings I desperately tried to forget.

 Anger, denial, spite...and there was longing. 

 And I longed for her like an addict who was desperate for his next fix. She was my everything and my life revolved around her. Everything melted away and she was the only thing I saw...

 ...and yet she only saw him.
