The deep wound I was left with

After a few movie dates with and without Marc, Kevin and I started dating.

All I can remember was the deep wound I was left with.

-Can't you see how of a fool I made of myself to be with you now?

-Quit it Jessica!

-You dodged all my words like they were deadly arrows.

This is not working, we need to break up!

I watched you from afar.

You didn't care.

I was there the entire time.

I liked the way you smiled, your laugh, the small wrinkles around your eyes when you smiled so brightly, the weird walk when you get excited and the way you kicked your friends as a joke. Poor Marc.

I memorized each angle of your face but I couldn't dare face you, I don't know your face, I just remember you by your side profiles.

I guess my mind tried to ignore you and erase you .

Our eyes met one time. It was hard to keep up so I turned around.

I didn't realize it was "our" last time.

I loved, love and will love you again and again.

We eventually graduated and lost contact of each other even Marc was unreachable.

It was 10 years ago.

Kevin was my first love, boyfriend, kiss, date…He was my first everything so it was hard to ignore his existence.

I work as an art director.

The firm I am in works with a lot a celebrities like actors, models and even singers.

We plan the background for the movies, music videos…

Yeah we do that.

A day that we both feared arrived, at last, the day of the reunion after millions of years of waiting

I did not expect such reject and now I am deeply wounded.

The path we took together suddenly ended no one knew that until we fall

In that deep and dark place where we both forgot about each other

I remember now how we used to hold hands

The warmth of your hand can keep my heart beating for another 10 years

That is what I thought.

Kevin is a manager now.

He looks well.

We stood looking at each other.

-Fancy seeing you here, Jessica.

My heart is aching.
