Three years, three months,
and three days ago
I fell out of love
with this world.
Since then each day
has been 16 hours long.
Every minute of every hour
accounted for.
Head down, eyes focused,
Always moving forward.
No distractions allowed.
16 hours might as well
be 16 years
when you’re trapped
within yourself
without friends,
without family,
without love.
But today I change.
I have mourned too much
for too long.
For the next 16 hours
I will watch,
I will learn,
I will return to this world
I once loved.
a friend once told me that after suffering for years after her divorce she was just beginning to watch the world again. for her, it was the first step in joining it again.
