A sense of loss
It was hard to drink too much; beer does not become me, nor I, it.
We drank, at times in silence, watching the crowd.
Forgotten snippets of the past rose and fell like ancient empires, dying into oblivion with each remembrance... my mind freewheeled.
Six days to go.
...I don't know where to start.
I don't know how to begin.
But I want to.
*****
Your eyes, as you turned around...
... burned me.
*****
Later, as he walked through the gates of home, his telephone buzzed.
"U really like her is it... U wan to be with her is it?"
What does that mean anyhow... "be with her".
Why do people use that line so often, over here? Does it mean to get together with... or does it just mean to have sex...
The truth was too complicated, and yet too simple to be told. The truth had done enough damage already; wisdom had been gleaned.
Answer a question, with a question.
...Shrug it away.
