i can remember the exact moment that i began to distance myself from you emotionally...
it was not an AHA! moment or a step into the brilliant light of truth...
instead...it was like the rising sun of a new day...
faint changes in the horizon that began as the midnight hues of a night sky slowly morphed into a pre-dawn gray...
the first rays of sun brought a subtle pink to an awakening day...
the fading sound of a cricket's song have been replaced with a bird's greetings of Good morning! Good day! It's great to be alive!
as the moon disappeared into the blue of the morning sky and shadowy figures began to form definite shapes filled in with glorious colors...
i could see where the path we walked moved from two roads onto one highway and then...where our steps grew farther apart until the one trek again became two journeys...
i know that with time, my routine thoughts of you will fade into a pattern of new possibilities, considerations and concerns...you will no longer be my first thought of the day or the last thing on my mind at night...
and i look forward to that...
time....
because already...there is distance....
