What day did you realize your marriage was over?
What day did you feel so alone and lonely and that you were navigating all these life things by yourself?
What day did you see that you were the only one putting in effort any more?
What day did the greatest love story ever end?
What day did you say to yourself - a year from now it will all be totally different?
What day did your heart break into so many pieces that the tears from your eyes could no longer keep up?
That you realized you’ve cried enough to fill ten oceans?
What day did you see that he can’t see anything clearly?
How many nights have you lost sleep?
How many times did he invade your dreams?
What day did you realize he has locked himself away from you behind bars and chains and walls so that you can no longer even hear his voice?
It was HIS CHOICE to completely shut you out.
What day will he wake up to see that you’re gone?
What day will he see what he lost?
What day will he FEEL that sense of loss?
Does that day even exist?
He’s not sitting around crying for you.
Take your tears and mix them into the mortar to build your own new foundation.
You already know you can do this alone.
Hide your love story like a treasure map deep in the walls.
Maybe someone else will use it one day.

Center Stage with Paul Stewart
*** I'm keen to republish the interviews I did for my series with Vocal creators. It's been a few years and I thought it might be nice to revisit these wonderful conversations. I'll be releasing them one at a time for a few weeks/months.
