ALL BECAUSE TWO PEOPLE FELL IN LOVE

He saw the wall plaque in a Target store. He kinda smiled as he read it and walked on by. Didn't get but a few steps before he had to go back and reread it. This time he stood there, and a flood of emotion washed over him like a tidal wave. There's so many ways that can be interpeted. Is it the two people that were together for over 25 years, the two that created a life in their darling baby girl? There were some good years in there. Of course there were, it did last a quarter of a century. But to him it ended up being two people
alone together.

Or was it the two that brought about such a profound alteration in his thinking? (of course him being one half of the two). There was no way they could be together, after all, he was still married. Now two people,
alone apart. Maybe after all this time they are not alone anymore. We are pretty good at doing that. Finding a way to fill the void left when love goes bad. At first you don't want to fill the hole. It hurts so bad, but after awhile you really get kinda of used to it, the abnormal becomes the normal. Then after a seeming eternity of dispair, pain, and agony, one day you realize you didn't cry that day. Hmmmm, that felt kinda ok, you think, but wait, you're not supossed to be ok. Not yet.

Tick tock tick tock........the hours slowly pass away.......the days become weeks, and weeks become months. The meloncholy feelings are replaced with more healthy feelings......hope that the future is not all bleak. He's not the first person to ever get divorced. Funny how finally saying the words that were hiding inside him unlocked the cage that had imprisioned for so long. There's no way he can go back to what it was like before. He had seen a glimpse of heaven, at least thats what it seemed to him. Lawyers, lists, house hunting, what a hassle it all is.

The plaque is still in his trunk. It won't be long till he has his own place. He plans to hang it somewhere close to the entry way, a reminder of all it took to get where he is today.
