two seconds and five words
What does a man do after a breakup?
 

I sat down on a crowded bench with a crystal heart,
while those sepia seconds relapsed in my memory, weaving our last arguments.
 
It was the time when I said I needed some time alone, and her emotions died, grasping my last few words like you knew I'd finally say them.
 
And suddenly, that naked light died from my eyes. The wind convinced my tears to pour over my face. And the park was flooded.

It was at that time that I knew I could cry.
 
I pulled you closer and hugged your freezing body. And we melted together like ice cream under the sun. It's true that two years will eventually disappear in two seconds and five words.
 
I sat down on a crowded bench with a pebbly heart while those extra seconds slipped off my conscience like a time lapse, thinking what I would do after she broke my heart.
