i was out of my mind. it was too full of you for anything else, even the things that made me who i was before you came along. because once you were there, i changed so completely that when it was all over i couldn't even remember the last few months. they telescoped out of control, lengthening into some grotesque mutation of time that should have broken the laws of physics.

and i realized that those four months felt like a decade. in knowing you, i had lived lifetime after lifetime, each one just as miserable as the next. and all the while you sat lost in your own world, not the faintest hint of what you did to me.

i think that was the worst part — how colossally you broke me without even trying. without even thinking. without even noticing.

how could the world fall apart so silently that you didn't even look up to watch the show?
