She remembers the day he told her that he would do whatever it took to make himself better suited to her. It was raining. And he didn’t lie.
As time passes them by, she wonders what would have been had she listened. He described her as ‘resilient’ and she knows deep down that she would live ‘til she was 100, much to her dismay.
Every time she opens her mouth it seems she wedges her foot further inside it. But, she is safe knowing that everything is consequential. And, for what it was worth, she was always sorry to have done that.
Just like the eight-ball says, “Try again later”. She cherished each forgiving moment with him knowing they would end up right back where they started.
Memories are all they have. He changed and she stayed the same. But, there was always something that drew them back together; it was like they couldn’t escape it.
Babies are born, people get sick and hearts will be broken. The only other constant in her life was him.
She will see him at the other end.
