How is it possible for one to miss what one's never had? How can one miss what never was? To remember so dear the one who stabbed you in the heart with rejection... To long for his arms and his tenderness when there are no arms or care to hold on to... As I smoke my cigarette, the last one I think, though next one will be the last, and so, and so... I think of you. I think of all the words that will never know my lips... your lips... our lips... I feel the absence of the kiss and the hug and the belonging. I lose myself in the capricious patern of the smoke. There are less mornings that your memory awakes me, but not enough time with myself without your shadow. I hope I remember all of this as I stare at the window trying to forget.
Now, there is no pain. Pain was before. Now there's something I have no name for.
