I can't shake, and perhaps
don't want to shake the feeling of loss. It is a funny thought, that
someone would want to be stuck in sadness. Maybe I feel that my sadness
will eventually undo the cause of sadness. Perhaps I feel my sadness
is a way to honor what I have lost. In my stories. my heroes and heroines
often must part, finding their way back once the task is complete and
their lives can cross again. I asked the question once "does love
only have to end in death?" Should I fear the sorrow of parting
and just refuse to feel? I don't want that, that much I know.
We are not completely parted,
my sweetest friend. My God does that make me cry. My sweetest friend,
I don't want that to ever change. And yet, I want this pain to go away.
I don't want to make promises because the future is unwritten until
it is the present. This gentle, ridiculous love, I can distract myself
from it with dreams and games, but can I make it fade forever? Do I
want it to fade forever? Realistically I can only say that time will
tell. All I can do is flounder around in the present.
