She’s throwing a party tonight. A small one. For friends. It’s her last day at her job. I think she’s moving away. I wonder if I should show up. I wonder if she is moving really far. If I’ll ever see her again…
Lately, I don’t know what it is I am searching for.
She was a separate soul. Everything she did had nothing to do with me. She didn’t involve me. I guess my bitterness only speaks on behalf of my ego and insecurity.
She was a bird. However cliche. She wanted to go explore new things. Feel new things. Love new people.
I was a tree. However taboo. And I wanted to love her only. Kiss her only.
She would draw pictures that had nothing to do with me. She would paint paintings that had nothing to do with me. She would go on trips that had nothing to do with me. She would feel pain that had nothing to do with me. She would laugh laughs that had nothing to do with me.
Then, we would lay down. She would breathe heavily. Breathing me in. Pulling me in slowly. Letting me kiss her neck. Letting me show her my insignificant love. Small little bruises here and there. Small moans here and there. Little hums.
Then she would pull away. And that had nothing to do with me. Because, again, she felt pain that had nothing to do with me. She wasn’t meant to be touched the way I wanted to. She would find her angry touch else where. And that had nothing to do with me.
All I could do. After all of the build up. Was kiss her. Was lay there. Silently. Until she decided that she had enough of my love and it was time to sleep.
