"Sometimes our light goes out, but is blown again into instant flame by an encounter with another human being."
I didn’t want to wake up. I was having a much better time asleep. And that’s really sad. It was almost like a reverse nightmare, like when you wake up from a nightmare you’re so relieved. I woke up into a nightmare.

I don’t think about you
in the morning anymore.
I no longer daydream about you
when I fall asleep.
Afternoons pass and I sometimes
forget your name,
the sun sets and you are just
a wisp of smoke against the back
of my neck.I’ve come to realize it is safer
to not think about things I can’t have—
safer to stop dreaming about people
whose hearts are so very far
from mine.
I’m twenty and I’ve been trying to find the easiest way to not look like I’ve been hurting.
