Darkness. Darkness everywhere. Then a flash of light, but it's gone again. But there it is again! And yet it's gone.
That's how it feels when the love of your life is never fully there. The light of your life is switched on and off and on and off.
It started with a normal day. A small breakfast, a kiss goodbye. A trip to the bus stop, a ride to work. A pile of paperwork, a 15 minute break. An hour more of work, and filing, and organizing. A phone call, a short phone call. A shortage of breath, two watery eyes.
"A car accident."
