time

i am so used to seeing you, so used to your voice. memorized every detail of your beautifully crafted face.

until i saw you today, and i realize, time. it does exist. such a traitor, it crept from behind. i never knew what it was taking away from me, until i opened my eyes and saw you. how different you are from who i thought you were.

images, they were so concrete. like you're there before me, though you were long gone. away from the life i thought we had, away from me.
