The logging of every second of our relationship

by Vikki Owens

This place,
suspended in the cloud of the internet,
where I have been furiously writing
for more than 10 years,
houses the entirety of every relevant emotion
I have ever felt
in my relationship with you.

From the giddy happiness of first introductions
and first kisses
and the sadness of long distances,
to the rush of reunions,
to engagement and promises
to our wedding and marriage
and the resulting failure of all of it.
The heartbreak and lonliness, the misery and fear,
the confusion, the passion, the pleading,
the love,
the hate,
the anger
the forgiveness,
the willingness,
the stubbornness.

Everything written down to break my heart again and again.

Your words are so naked and poignant that it becomes hard to describe such vulnerability without sounding too trite. Thank you for sharing this Vikki.
