This is just about the shortest thing I've ever written, but I figured I might as well post it…It's not for the through and through Imzadians I think, but it does deal with that pairing…kinda *g*

Disclaimer; not mine, never mine…ever. The story itself is mine do *g*

Setting; anywhere, really

Reviews are very much welcome, especially since I've seen so little of them lately :( Also, suggestions for the title are welcome :)

I'll just up now, so enjoy…or not *g*

When was it that my feelings changed? I myself didn't even realize they had until tonight, until he made a desperate attempt to get me back, to recapture the youth we once shared. Somehow, some time my feelings must have changed in one moment to another and changed a little more in the moments thereafter. So gradually, so slowly, that I didn't notice.

It isn't that I don't love him anymore, for I do. I love him deeper than he will be able to believe, but not the way I used to. Those feelings are gone, they transformed through time and through heartache until they evolved into this.

I know this now and I am relieved. For years after we broke up I kept hoping and waiting. I winched whenever I saw him lead another woman to his bed, my heart hurt a little every time he fell in love. I became so accustomed to it that I never realized I stopped feeling that way.

I tried to explain it to him earlier; I tried to make him understand that my romantic feelings for him had faded away but that that didn't mean I no longer loved him. But he wouldn't listen. He called me a liar, a weakling, a coward and I found myself unable to be angry at him.

The truth is that he is right. Or he would've been, had he called me those things two, three or even four years ago. I lied to him then when I told him I didn't want to pick up where we left off. I was weak then, for dodging my feelings rather than deal with them. I was a coward then, for not daring to let him see my true self.

That has changed, however, as have I.

And all that there's left, is the question of how he changed. Can he accept me as the woman I've become?
