I met an ex-boyfriend today.
I noticed his cool sunglasses, his stained trousers, his daughter's shyness as she sat on his lap. I knew how to make him laugh, what would light up his eyes, which words were coming out before he opened his mouth. I accepted that he fed his child before turning to me, that he was leaving soon to do what was expected of him, that there was no time.
Words were left unsaid. I knew him well, once.
