I still like the way you look at me.

In the empty space between us, I feel the heaviness of our years together. They stretch backward and forward, invisibly gathering the peaks, valleys and plateaus of life with little regard for the toll they take on a person, on a marriage.
I am covered in spaghetti sauce stains and insecurity; my hair is knotted and so is the pit of my stomach.
Suddenly I am fragile. There are a few broken pieces on the floor.
WOW. So simple and so true. Thank you for writing simple truths so that I can take note of the things that matter in my life. Thanks for writing.

You startle with simplicity and tender honesty that crumbles the facade of life, and directness that visually evokes bittersweet emotion.
