In a dark time

My long term girlfriend broke up with me literal days before lockdown started. I lived alone and was struggling to adjust to this new life without her in it. A month or so passed and I found myself back on tinder, and then talking to someone. We nervously decided to meet after weeks of constant communication, and so grew a near daily tradition of socially distanced walks along the docks to watch the sunset. We fell hard for one another, sharing sangria and stories and I started to feel happiness in what I thought was such a time of sorrow. There are so many more experiences I had with her that I could hush over, but things ended sourly and unexpectedly. I still want her to know that she bought me so much joy in such a dark time, even if only for a while.
