Cali's knocking,
so I turn and run.
As I run down the stairs,
I'm thinking there must be such a thing
as too much sleep.
That wasn't really him.
It couldn't have really been him.
Could it?
When I open the door,
she gives me her
best girlfriend hug
and I realize
how much I have missed
my Cali.
We go to the kitchen,
plop down at the table.
"Thanks for coming," I say.
She looks at her watch.
"You hungry?"
"I could eat."
I get up
and open the pantry door.
I don't even know
if it's time fore breakfast
or lunch
or dinner.
"What time is it?" I ask.
"11:00."
I stand there, staring at the boxes
of crackers
and cereal,
trying to focus
on food
and not
on what I just saw
in the mirror.
The cool air
surrounds me again.
I get goose bumps.
I feel him, standing there,
next to me,
like he's hungry too,
looking for something to eat.
"Did you feel that?" I ask.
"What?" She says.
"Nothing."
She'll think I'm crazy.
Maybe she'd be right.
And then,
there's the slightest hint of
something brushing
my cheek.
Not a touch,
less than a touch.
A whisper.
No, a feeling.
Just a feeling.
Or maybe,
just my imagination.
I shiver again.
Am I going crazy?
"I think you need to get out," Cali says.
"Let's go to the mall.
For some yummy food court food,
and a little shopping, if you want."
I shrug. "I guess."
This is good.
I'm a normal girl
going to the mall.
Not crazy.
Not a girl
who's beginning to think
she's being haunted
by her
dead boyfriend.
