He loved her. We saw them together one day. The way he looked at her! He had stars in his eyes.
No one existed outside of her.
Two things happened to me at the same time (and I will not be able to explain this fully): my heart broke into pieces, and then I felt it fill with such warmth like the whole sun was dropped in my chest.
The man I loved was in love.
Not with me, sure, but I saw how happy he was. I understood what it meant to be on cloud nine right in that very moment.
I should have felt betrayed. But I was so complete.
I cannot make sense out of that moment. But even now, years later, it brings me such bittersweet joy.
