I remember how much I used to love this place. But now, it's almost like a war zone. I almost lost my head, never mind my heart. Now I just try, try try try to be happy. Look happy. So I don't get weird looks and questions like "you both still not talking?". And then it hits me, that no matter how hard I try feigning ignorance and basically blocking out the fact that he's around, somewhere, I will never be normal or okay until I leave this place. And then, He comes up right up in my face, and catches me offguard, smiles a little too widely and says "hey, deathly hallows is out of stock right?". It takes me ten seconds (or more) to recognise him and I said "oh, uhm, should be on the shelf but I think out of stock". He whispers a soft thank you and goes on his way. And then, I'm thinking, ohhhh that was my ex. Funny how I actually forgot what he sounded like.
