stunned and frozen as you walk toward me.
everything is still the same since we last met—
silent, vague, and tensed.
every beat, every rhythm, every word—
uttered perfectly as it was.
lights flashing across the street—
a tiny glance from your mesmerizing eyes
a single sound from your remarkable voice
a simple gesture of your fragile hands as you brush your hair swiftly
an astonishing smile from your beautiful lips
and a wave of silence as you fade away with them.
Wink.
Deep sigh.
Smile...
you weren’t there.
