Milestones

Today is the date me and P split up 

2 years ago today 

I stood in the stand at Villa park with my long wig on 

A painted smile and tired tear stained eyes

I got in a taxi after the game and sat next to someone I thought was my life companion and it was like being sat with a stranger 

I hadn’t trusted her for a long time but it felt different 

I didn’t even recognise her anymore

The pizza was ordered and it was like any other day

Just like that !

Conversations were bizarre and felt so weird to have.

A marriage and almost 8 years together, and these was the final moments.. 

I remember her clearly saying she would still let me stop at her apartment in town for the games in the future

That we could still stand together in the lower holte with all the faithful

Irony at its finest, wouldn’t you agree?

But that day.. it felt like a haunting

it was like all those mirrors that had broken over my life

All those seven years of bad luck had added altogether and had hit all at once

Like I was watching the final scene in my romantic tragedy

Looking back at the Acts gone by

Seeing all those times we had fought to be and have all we could 

How we pushed ourselves to limits we could never match 

How we watched people in our families bow out their final scenes of life 

We were here 

Over 

Stone cold 

Grey skies

Nothing to hold on to 

Nothing left to try 

Google had no answer anymore

And neither did AI

It was the end of our story 

This was the final good bye
