[ WP ] `` Those eyes of yours could swallow stars , galaxies and universes . What hope did I ever have ? ''

I had stopped counting how long I ’ ve been away. What I do know is that everyday while I was gone, I wanted to see you. It was impossible to ignore the gaping whole on my chest that I tried to fill with thoughts and moments that did n't involve you. Nothing worked, unsurprisingly. You were the only thing that could keep the black hole in the center of me from swallowing my existence. 
 
 You wrote three hundred sixty-five letters. I know there were more but I stopped reading when I finally got to the point I realized I was n't doing us a favor. Not once did I return a written thought until one day they just stopped coming. But that does n't mean I stopped thinking of you. I probably still will as long as we're under the same stars. 
 
 But today I just needed to see you. Today I just needed to know I did the right thing. Or maybe I needed to know you were as miserable as I was without you. Or maybe I needed to relive that day when the stars aligned for us. 
 
 I stepped forward, a step closer to the abode that sheltered you and what we once had. The door opens and I see your brother and his wife coming out. My stomach drops and I lose all courage I managed to muster up to see you. Your brother and his wife adored me. Used to. I do n't imagine he could forgive me after I left you with nothing but a note to hold onto. Minutes pass and you follow them out. I feel my breath get knocked out of me as I see your smile again. It was the same one you wore when you looked at me. She comes after you moments after, kind eyes, warm smile, golden hair. She takes your hand and I struggle to keep my balance. The ring shines in the sunlight. She calls out a name and out comes racing a small boy who looked like a carbon copy picture of you. You take him into your arms. He turns to me with your ocean eyes. You turn to see what he was looking at. 
 
 For a second, when our eyes met I could see what I had been missing out on. Those eyes of yours could swallow stars, galaxies, and universes. What hope did I ever have?
