| Changes He walked down the crowded New York City sidewalk. It was spring time in the city, the snow had finally melt away. He had never felt the coldness of the snow though, just the lonliness. But now as the spring sun beat down on his face, that emptiness was still there. He kept walking, not paying attention to where he was going. He was trying to ignore the hollowness inside of him, hoping that it would eventually go away. Yet it wouldn�t.... He came to a stop realizing where he was. It was her apartment complex. They had both been running from the pain, but what he wouldn�t give to see her face again. It had been so long. They could sit in her living room catching up on each other�s lives. They would talk about anything and everything. She�ll pretend that she forgave him, and he�ll pretend that nothing ever happened between them. That he never let her down. Never made her cry. He had paid the price, he still was. They would both act happy. But he would not go up there, he couldn�t. A lot had changed since back then. He didn�t know her anymore. Everything had changed, even her name. He moved along, trying to get as far away from the apartment as fast as he could. Before turning the corner, he took one last look back. There she was, standing in front of her apartment building, starring right at him. He saw her face. She hadn�t changed.... |
