upon, and hate her again for being
detached enough from her feelings to dissect our relationship into plot lines,
suppositions and literary prowess.
Book paid for, I stash the copy in my
bag and hurry to my car. I plow through shoppers without taking much notice. My
eyes are down, cast to the floor, and the bland oatmeal tile blurs past as I
count the steps inside my hear. I focus on the steps to keep myself from
imploding... or more embarrassingly, sinking to the floor in the middle of the
mall to read and cry. This book is the closest thing to being near Maribel that
I’ve had in months and I can’t even wait to savor it in the privacy of my own
home.
“Watch it lady!” A burly man spins away
from my trajectory, spittle flying from his face as I pass by. I ignore him.
At the car, I fumble with the keys. I
curse and feel hot tears pour down my face. The car is stifling, full of
stagnant air. I hardly notice as I dig the book out of my bag and gingerly open
it. My eyes land on the Dedication Page.
It has been said that with every
great love we have, a little piece of our souls is left behind after the
cleaving. I hope it is so, and that a small “nothing” of myself, a collection
of molecules and memories that flit in and out of the subconscious, stayed when
I had to go. I can only wish that I had more of me to leave behind. ~Maribel
In that moment I realize that I’m not
broken, as I’d been thinking for months. No, it’s not that my heart is
splintered, fractured or smashed to a million bits and pieces...
It’s that half of the damn thing is
missing, spirited away to parts unknown by the one person who ever got close
enough to steal it.
