The Unbearable Light-ness of Love
You know how some things never change?
Just to hear from him, like old friends do at sporadic intervals, still sends you that nice, fuzzy tingles.
You hang on to the words of that casual remark he made about you...
I’d be flattered if I wasn’t married.
As you both reminisce a little, not too much or too far down that old track.
The bulb in your being instantly lights up a thousand watts.
It will continue to light you for at least the rest of tonight, and maybe tomorrow.
You will sleep on this nice private thought tonight.
You continue to stay friendly and platonic, made peace that your joint past is history.
Despite so, you feel love.
Love of that unconditional sort.
Love for your old lover.
Love that never did left your heart, though your lives are becoming more disconnected from each other, drifting in different directions with the passage of time.
Love that left you with bitter sweet memories but strangely puts a quiet smile on your face.
At least we had fun.
