you.
you have become a different person now.
time has change the way you perceive things, the way you think and feel.
you strayed from me for far too long. where have you been?

nobody will ever miss you like the way i do.
i want my old self back.
where are you?
"the only thing he could do to stay alive was not to allow himself the anguish of that memory. he erased it from his mind, although from time to time in the years that were left to him he would feel it revive, with no warning and for no reason, like the sudden pang of an old scar"
-- gabriel garcia marquez
