A moment in your memory can throw you off track...

Evolution Of Heartache

My heart hurts from the blow.  An emotional knock out similar to the magnitude of  an earthquake.  It starts so unexpectedly.  I recall a memory.  A tender moment in my past.
You are there with me as always.  Your young look.  Hair a little long and unstyled.  Body a little dirty with a tear in your jeans.  That quick kiss that sets my heart on fire but sends you to the shower because you feel stinky.  I want time to stop right there.
Let me remember that insignificant moment as you got out of the truck kicking your boot against the stair before you went inside.  I follow.
I fast forward to the present and feel desperate and a bit out of breathe.  Not finding you just around the corner of my mind.  You were just there.
