unease amid apparent bliss

a secret feeling that maybe this is just an extended spur of the moment, a prolonged amazement of something un-amazing although new, something that will lose glitter, shed off the shiny wrapping paper, and unmask the unremarkable that all along hid poorly beneath black kohl and the occasional mousse blush.

a shadow of you is not you

the actual irrecoverable thing about it is, you've been taken out of the position where you can do anything about it. someone else is doing a better job now. and the most you have on that person is a faint, faint resemblance that looks nothing like you.
