My heart didn’t break into a thousand pieces after he left.
Instead, I realized all the things he didn’t do.
He didn’t want to hear my stories.
He didn’t ask me questions.
He didn’t smile when I was talking to him.
He didn’t hug me out of the blue to make me feel good.
His hugs were always a preamble to something else
and after he was gone, I wondered if he ever knew me at all.”
