I meet Jorge at the gym.

Everything hurts right now.

I find him shooting hoops.

He turns around with a grin.


It drops as he sees my expression.

I don't want to talk about it right now.

I want to be—I want to be with you.

I tug on the collar of his shirt.


He pulls away and scrubs his face.

You are so unaware.

I pause; he can't be—can he?

I grab his arm and turn.


To see such anguish.

I scream, "You can't!"

But I do; I always have.

I run.


All the way to my bedroom—

With glow in the dark stars. 

Twinkling like fallen dreams—

Of a forgotten land.
