You want to talk to them about everything.

Like youve lost part of what makes youyou.

And it makes you wonder whether there is something wrong with you.

Whether you arent exciting enough or attractive enough to convince someone to stay.

Because you were always joined at the hip.

It will remind you how wrong it feels after your numbness made you forget.

When you go from talking every single day to being total strangers, its hard to trust again.

Right now, you have the time to reevaluate what you need from life.

And you have the freedom to search the universe until you find it.
