5.27.99 Bones Heal, Hearts...? She crowds my mind with her thoughts and desires. She's exists a mere foot from my being, but mentally we lay miles apart. It used to be different. We used to be close. Sharing the same dreams. Looking through the same lens of life. But now that is gone, and I am to blame. Where will she go from here? Certainly not in my direction. We can only grow further apart. She says it doesn't have to be that way. I know better. I think she does too. She rolls over and lays her arm across my body. I wonder what her dreams are. I wonder what mine are to become. The silent darkness of her room mirrors my feelings. It has to be this way. It wasn't meant to be. I slowly get up. She doesn't seem to notice my absence. She sleeps so peacefully. I quietly shut her bedroom door and leave. My mind speaks. "Don't look back." "She'll handle it better than you." "Probably." "Don't look back." "It's probably best." "You know it is." "Yeah you're right." My wheels hit the pavement of her driveway. She awakes and listens as I skate out of her life. |
