They were lost in conversation, the two of them
\nOn the street as though it were just another day
\nI had not even seen her for five years
\nShe looked the same, in that brief moment
\nBefore I made myself look away<\/p>\n
They might have seen me, or maybe not
\nIt might make no difference at all
\nOr all the difference in the world
\nFive years of accumulated pain, and wondering
\nAll resolved in a moment<\/p>\n
I was happy for them – am happy for them –
\nFor me the betrayal was always in the mystery
\nWhy such anger? Why friendship so rejected?
\nQuestions I have asked myself every single day
\nBecause there was nobody else to ask<\/p>\n
But today was the day of revelation
\nThe first day when I know for certain
\nThat the cobwebs that have covered my heart
\nCan at last be cleared away, to make room
\nFor whatever may come next<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
