I see the words refracted by time, and when I turn around, I see you still waiting, quietly fulfilling all the promises made that year.
Actually, I understand very well now, that the reason my husband is able to ask this question is simply because he wants to achieve some sort of psychological balance. He can't accept that the person he loves most has fallen for another man, while he remains eternally as a backup. His heart is in pain too, but some things can't just be forgotten or changed. Everyone's life is walked by themselves; the path one ultimately chooses will dictate the kind of ending they will face in this lifetime.
