On The Return

We share eyes

Features

The blue

However..I will never share what is dearest to me.

You shocked me today.

How you appeared, as some sickly apparition out of the past, out of my memories, materialized into the car waiting in the parking lot.

I'm glad I didn't see you first.

Yet..there you were.

And then came the hug.

Nails pushing in cuticles until red..brushed away...

Giddy laughter. Wide smile. Hello Hello Hello..How was the trip?

Trips among awkward silence.

His smile and your cheeks flushed pink. From sun? Did I feel guilty for walking over?

Only slight tears shed.

All in memory.

Memories living in drops upon cheeks. Unable to forgive. Unable to lower the grudge. And I'm sorry.

No one else handles themselves as thus..as I.

It is mine. It is all mine.

And there you are..and here I cringe...looking at the new oldness of you.

In a parking lot.

In June.
