I thought of The Graduate on my wedding day. I kept looking back to see if you were beating on the window of the church calling my name, but you weren't. I knew then for certain that the kind of impetuous love we'd known was the stuff of movies, not the stuff of life. So I listened for the song. I walked down the aisle to reality rather than cinema, but to this day I shy away from Dustin Hoffman flicks.

I've always been there in your hallway with numerous doors leading nowhere, nowhere good. And even after you moved on without even so much as a nod, I stayed, transfixed, unable to move yet complacent. Holding out one small hope that I'd feel the way you made me feel again.

Poignant and cathartic no doubt. Poetry is the best love lost medicine
