The widening distance

He has settled in now, into his new country. He has made friends, had an affair with a local girl. He no longer wants to talk to me. When he calls, it's more out of duty than out of love. Today, he told me he has asked a local tourism guy to introduce him to the female staff. He talks about marriage every single day. It will be several years before I see him again. He will be married by then. I will not be invited to the wedding.
This, ladies and gentlemen, is the love of my life.

To say it hurts would be a massive understatement.
