I don’
t know…
maybe I realized it a little late,
But
everything happens in its own time.
That
day, I knew
how much I love you.
Just a moment before I reached the
door,
it felt like a wave hit behind me.
Words lost their clarity.
You said something…
“
God protect you,”
or “I entrusted you to
God.”
Your wave came before the words—
stronger,
confusing,
erasing the words.
It was the second time I felt it,
stronger than the first time,
completely clear.
I wanted to turn back and look into your gentle eyes,
but it was as if someone wouldn’t let me.
A voice in my head said,
“If you turn back, leaving will be harder.”
I went out the door,

the
one who came in
was no longer the same person.
