Once
He was a new customer, just moved to this town
She was a regular one
They met twice a week
Then, his curiosity peaked, wanting to know about her
And sometimes she stole a glance at him
Until one day he pushed himself to open a conversation
She answered, with a smile, showing her dimples
One conversation opened another as they started to wanting to meet each other again
He thought she was for him
She thought there was no one else like him
So he brought her to his parents on one Saturday
The next day she brought him to her family’s dinner

Their days filled with hugs, kisses and laughter
And a very small amount of debate
They knew they meant for each other
So he asked her
And she said yes!
One Sunday morning under blue sky and white clouds, they tied each other with commitment and promises
But now…
How could they even get here?
How could the laughter and smiles replaced by sorrows, misery, and endless questions?
Who could answer anyway?
Where did it all begin?
Who knows?
Once they meant everything to one another
Now they were nothing but a stranger to each other
