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.
