breakfast of possibilities

the dryer's humming and bumbling morphed her dreams into reality. with foggy eyes she recalled a familiar fondness her heart had recaptured in the night, of a man she had once loved. 

her dream was simple, rooting a feeling of warmth, of love, of familiarity and surety with that man. 

but today, in the bright morning light, he loves someone else. 

she sighs as she begins today, puzzling over the conflicting memories and feelings. of her with him. of their beginning. of their end. 

the day is past for their love to bloom. 

and so, she lifts a brownie for breakfast and 

smiles at her possibilities without him.
