Closure

How did it all fall apart? What happened along the way? Did we try hard enough? What if…?
Questions with multiple choice answers that you’d pick option D. for - All of the above. Ultimately, we just want to achieve closure. To have that little comfort in knowing that the choice we’ve made is the better one. It doesn’t necessarily have to be the right choice, but we’re better off ambling off the road.

How did it fall apart? I could tell you anything and everything. You’d always listen to me. Why did you stop listening? Why did I stop telling you things?
I’ve always heeded everything you said to me. I still do. I impeded responding because you told me to. I compromised for you. But that led you to think that I’ve ceased listening to you. Perhaps I never should have reacted the way you wanted me to. And when you thought that I’ve stopped listening, you stopped talking to me. Our communication link went dead. We merely obliged each other then.

What happened along the way? I tried, very hard, to understand you. I knew from the minute we met that you were unlike the others I’ve met. But I never could understand you. I still don’t.
I never expected you to understand me. I only needed you to enjoy me. Enjoy what was unlike the others. You use to tell me that I would never bore you. In a way, I never did. You gave your all in trying to understand me. All that effort. You grew tired. Weary. You stopped trying to have a rest. At that point, you were already too somnolent to enjoy me.

Did we try hard enough? How hard is hard enough? We wanted so hard to make things right. But we also wanted so much to stay alive.
We’ve come to the beginning of the end. We’ve both opened different doors and stepped across different thresholds. Our paths are desolated. Perhaps our paths were never one and the same. Instead, we might have merely sojourned along our own ways to seek each other out. I’ve given it my all and you have given it yours. Shall we stop sinking now?

What if we try harder? What if we try once more knowing all the flaws now? Will we look back and want it all to be different?
We will always ponder and desire on both the past and the future. Will we skip together carefree and spirited through into the future? Or will we be walking on the tips of our toes for fear of shattering the already fractured past? Regret is foolish. Never letting go of the past will only maim the future. Will we ever resolve?...
