and we are falling 'til we find ground

They had a bad break up.
That's all he can remember when he looks at her now. How painful it had been, how devastating. He can't bring himself to remember anything more, nor the reasons nor the situation. He remembers her crying and if he closes his eyes, he can still see that look in her eyes, that look which opened holes to his heart, that look which told him what a monster he is.
Like he needed reminding. He loved her and left her because he wasn't couragous enough. Because he was too scared to do anything.
But all he can see when he meets her eye now is pure hate.
.
He broke her. He broke her heart into pieces, and then he left her.
She doesn't remember much. Only something along the lines of families, blood and I'm sorry. And then she remembers falling, falling down, falling apart without much hopes for a saviour.
And now that she sees him again, he's as cold and indifferent as back then. And she's angry. Not at him. At herself for not being able to forget him, for not being able to move on, although she knows that they can never be.
So, she dances, she walks, she talks, she lives in the dark, like that she can't see him looking. Like that he can't find her; like that he can't hurt her.
But for some reason that hurts more.
