I think this is perfect. If you’ve ever broken up with anyone then it’s the feeling of loss that hurts the most. You write with such empathy and heart.
I have to echo D.K., this just rings with a yearning ache. So beautifully evoked, Rachel!
I love the imagery of visions from a happier time hiding in the shadows, Rachel! This is a very compelling entry for the contest!
