Do you see it? The house we were going to turn into a home, the gate in front of the door, the dog and the cat and the children all playing. Our little family growing as our hearts grew together.
Do you see it? A big tree. Two cups of chocolate milk. Twinkling lights. Sleepy me. Tired you. A polar bear. A fox. A blanket. An empty kitchen with us swaying in the middle while dinner is cooking. A pocket watch.
Do you see it? My heart, raw and pure. Me, always being myself. Loving you in all honesty. What I promised you was never a lie. Did you mean your promise when you said it? Why did you give a promise you chose not to keep?
Do you see it? The first text she sent you. The first response you gave. The first time you stepped away from us.
Do you see it? The Ferris wheel. We were paused at the top when I poured my heart out to you with love and promises. You didn't have much of a response.
Do you see it? The phone in your hand as you made a final decision. My number dialed for the last time. Something familiar. Your voice. Something strange. We're apart.
Do you see it? The look on my face the first time we saw each other after. The heartbreak from something that wasn't just over, but had been false for a long time. The day I found out there was someone else. The day I learned the lie I had lived.
Do you see it? Pieces of a life interwoven. Some left behind. A mug. A drawing. A ring. A shirt. A photograph. A memory. A heart. A dream.
Did you ever see it? Did you ever see any of it?
