Dear – – – – –

I looked you up online and it  was strange seeing pictures of you.

My reaction was detached and objective.   I cannot believe that I ever cried over you.

It was interesting learning things about you that you concealed back then.

I studied your face in the pictures and felt like I never knew you.

The look in your eyes was one of a stranger I never knew.

Then, I listened to you speaking in videos online and felt nothing.  You sound professional but the cruelty is right there in your eyes .  I can clearly see it now.

Strange, how it works.

Someone can break your heart once upon a time.

Devastation and mourning can happen that seems to be never ending.

Yet, years later, no reaction.

Some people are not worthy of your tears.

They never were.

It would be interesting to go back in time and either not meet such people or thank them for walking away.

Wisdom can be earned but at a major price.
