Nate after the break up
I dreamed about her for weeks. Months, even. Before I met her. Before I met her, I dreamed about her constantly. I just knew that something was going to happen that was going to change my life. Not all at once. Slowly, like heartache going away. Slowly, like the way you breathe when you’re asleep. Slowly, like my heart when she went away. Slowly, like how I live without her. I knew she was going to change my life, but I didn’t know how. I didn’t know that she would haunt me, saying that this was the way that it was supposed to be. Saying that she was sorry that things had to end this way. It hurt. It hurt me all the time. I was so sad without her. Not sad. Empty, pointless. Raven hair to raven hair, pale eyes to pale eyes. Were we twins? No. We were lovers. The best lovers we’d ever known. She made me happy without the pills, without the drugs, without the breathlessness and the numbness. She made me feel alive instead of dead.
