A moment

I looked into her eyes and for a moment, I forgot.

For just a moment, I forgot that I was leaving.

For just a moment, I forgot why.

For just a moment, I forgot she no longer loved me.

For just a moment, I forgot she had cheated.

But then that moment was over, and sadness, anger and despair crashed over me.

I wanted that moment back.

The moment I met her.

The moment I started to fall for her.

The moment I knew I was in love with her.

The moment we ushered the three special words.

'I love you.'

And that moment was filled with so much warmth and love that I never wanted that moment to end.

But that was all gone the moment she stopped loving me.

The moment I caught her cheating.

I wanted it all back.

Before my world crashed down around me.

Just for a moment.
