Why did you take so long to come, she asked

I was lost, caught in the vicissitudes of life, he replied 

I am no longer in the same page where you left

So much of me is gone when you left me clueless 

It hurt

And I let it hurt 

Till it made me numb

Devoid of love and warmth

Is there any chance we can revive, he pleaded

I am now complete in self

She kissed his forehead and left.
