The pain was no longer the sharp pain that consumed her body. It no longer wracked her body rendering her incapable of movement. The pain was now a dull ache. It was the dull ache that caused her to lose her breath every time she walked into the kitchen where she had often woken up to the smells of him cooking breakfast. It was the dull ache that caused a hitch in her step when she walked by the couch, the same couch they spent evenings tangled in each other watching a baseball game or listening to the rain on the windows. When the sharp pain was greatest she wanted to be away from this place. This place they had shared. The place that contained the warm memories yet left the coldest space in her chest. These memories which constricted her chest so often she thought she would stop breathing altogether. It was those desperate times that implored her to move the bed to the opposite wall, a wall which didn't contain the views of the hazy dawn light glittering through the curtains. The view of the shadows that danced across the wall that reminded her of the early mornings she would wake up to watch him sleep. She soon realized that every inch of the space held him and her memories with him. This space also held her captive to their memories. She had thought about moving, she looked at apartments and she cried on the steps of the third story walk up which did not contain any memories of them. She could not bring herself to leave, he still had the key to this apartment, and if she moved she could no longer hold onto the hope of him walking through those doors, no hope of him returning, no hope of his laughter filling the rooms. It was only the sounds of her sobs that echo down the hall.
