Yesterday, in the serenity of snow,
I lay in the sled and stared up at the sky.
Crisp cool flakes fell down around me,
sent from the collective comfort of the grey sky.
Time stood still, and I knew it could last forever.
It felt like the universe was falling down around me.
Today, the pain in his eyes,
in his voice, in his sob.
I never thought that words could hurt me so much again.
Rummaging in the pantry later I found a can of yams.
I sat there on the floor and cried again.
It felt like the universe was falling down around me.

The beautiful repetition of the title line, it took my breath away. And not in the swooning fashion.
