if it was a mistake i couldn't help wondering why it looked the same way it always had, how something so much the same can suddenly be different, like the way a fleck of glass never reflects the same thing, just a shard what you could once see. i looked at her the same way i always had, but she didn't look back, so i knew that things had changed even if my feelings would always be the same. glass has fault lines, but that doesn't mean it breaks the same way twice.
