There She Was

There she was standing outside the restaurant. I didn't have a doubt.
I knew it was her. The woman who wrote those letters.
The woman on those pictures.
The one who owns the rubbish you kept until now.
She was young then and so were you.
Life was kind then until one day when evil corrupted her innocence.
The day neither of you will ever forget.

I saw her standing outside. I wasn't sure if she could see me.
This woman, still beautiful and full of optimism in life. I envy her.
'Is she coming in?' I wondered.
Wait, she's staring at me. She was about to reach the door but she stopped, she's not going in.
Now I knew she saw me from where I was.

She changed her mind, she decided to go somewhere else.
She gave me a last glance, one I will never forget.
Then she was gone.

There she was. The love of your life.
