I simply cannot shake this. You somehow have me hooked, and I have always been quite content with my feelings. Around you there is an absence of anything emotionally overwhelming and I take pleasure of the small, gentle and soothing things. I know when you are drifting away. I start to feel the undoing of laces around my heart that you knotted. I feel that distance grow where I water. I start watering too much, trying to bring 'us' back to life. That is, of course, if 'us' was ever real. Was it just a figment of my imagination? I have always dreamt that in another life we are stood side by side, laughing that in another life, we are apart. That in another life you look at me the way all women want to be looked at by a man. In another life you pour yourself into me, and I do not let a drop hit the ground. The possibilities in this are illimitable, so why can't it happen in this life?
