...A Slip-Up...

I was just out of my relationship, feeling raw and vulnerable at work. We had been together for years, and I thought we were it for each other...but now she's gone. One day, I was tending to a patient, an older man who reminded me of my ex in so many ways. I found myself drawn to him, maybe because he needed something too...and before I knew it, there was this connection that shouldn't have happened. It wasn't anything physical exactly, but the way we looked at each other spoke volumes... I feel terrible about it now, still replaying those moments in my head like a bad dream.
