A Numbed Pain

It's a funny old world. At first, the pain is so bad you don't think you'll ever get over it. Maybe you won't even be able to carry on with your life. But life goes on and this stage passes. Then it's a memory, deep in your mind, that pain is still so close to the surface. You swear, "I'll always feel this way, I'll never forget them or think any different of them." But then time goes on, and it's almost like when your fingers get cold outside.

You just can't feel them any more.

You start asking questions like, "What would I say if I saw them right now?" "Would we really have that much to talk about?" "Would they like the person I am now?" "Would I be willing to change for them again?" And the funniest part it, you really do wonder about these things.

Suddenly you're just not so sure any more were you stand on the issue. Whether you really do want to reapproach the pain. Is it really worth it?

I don't know.
