Sudden Solitude

“It’s not that I can’t live without you,
It’s just that I don’t even want to try.”
-- Back to Your Heart

S is far away and life has to go on.

I’m doing okay, despite the fact that I’m keeping score of the days.

Even so, fleeting moments beset me, such as now.

And I would still like to stand very still, close my eyes, drink in the orange-sunset air and think of her.
