Out Of The Blue...

We had been together more than ten years.
Even so, you still always surprised me in one way or another.
Maybe it was just saying something silly, or cute and funny.
Or, maybe you did something that reminded me of how smart or thoughtful you are.
Never a dull moment with you.

You really surprised me when you said you needed some space.
And then when you said we are over.
And that time when you said to our counselor, as you were sitting next to me,  that you were no longer "in love" with me.
That was... not a good day.
I thought I knew you.

Now I wonder who you are?
What have you done with my wife?
Is she in there somewhere with you?
That other you is packing up your stuff.
That other you is "moving on".

The way you pulled the rug out from under me was stunning.
Makes me think of that trick magicians do with china and a table cloth.
And now I'm like half of a shattered teacup, forever spinning in slow motion on the floor.
And you are like the walking dead - but I don't even get to mourn.
...into the Black.
