Walked away

She realized he walked away 

from their 'truth' 

a long time ago 
struggling to negate 

every aspect of them possible..
which painfully left shadows 

that they needed to avoid.. 
that they were unable to face.. 
while she still searched.. and still hurt..
in glimpses of that shadow.. 
afraid so afraid to look into his eyes..
As he avoided her eyes 

She avoided the mirror.. 
a very sensitive person 

who would not voluntarily hurt anyone 
and yet he looked away 

and it made her go cold.. 

They were too precious to let go.. 

They were too precious to hold on this way..
