You and I, always almost. Again and again. I wonder if you recall the way I couldn’t keep my eyes off you. My head on your bare chest, bodies close. I watched you sleep, melting into you. It was an almost moment, the almost moment that started it all. We were always on the verge of almost. Never nothing, never something, but never again.

I’m mentally spent. Out of words. Out of thoughts. It feels so good to be this empty. It’s so peaceful.

Is this what it’s like to be normal?

It was a long time ago. It doesn't matter anymore.
