Your embrace is a paragon of false presence. I ache for it, yet I dare not utter it. Perhaps I believed nothing would change, and I shiver at the thought of you leaving. I chose to live in illusion rather than see grief make a home in my very bones; to make it hollow. I am the problem. There is no growth awaiting you beside me. If this is the sunset I do not want to see, will you hug me one last time? So I feel the warmth of whom my feet once walked with before my globe trembles and rain a cold glitter.
