"it's already done."
I'm starting to wonder if there are great cosmic forces at play in this universe.
After months of wondering if we'll ever have a run-in again and a long night/morning after, I groggily stepped into a train car this evening to find you sitting fifteen feet away from me. I don't think you saw me, but I doubt you'd say hi, even if you did. I was dirty and wet from the rain, so I was already hesitant to approach you, but on top of it all, I felt like this was the symbolic close of the chapter that I've been waiting for. I glanced in your general direction to confirm your identity and recognized your shoes. I decided to ignore you and stared ahead at the passengers sitting across from me. When the train pulled into your stop, I closed my eyes and didn't open them again until the train started moving again. In retrospect, letting you go was so much easier than I'd originally thought. I think this was the only appropriate way to deal with the situation.
Darling, I wish you peace. See you in the next lifetime.
