i woke up

no tear on my tongue, though, but i did discover the one
who didn't run with the morning light. ah. finalement.
and the denouement fills the room with a sweet scent of
all our yesterdays giving way to the future.

*sigh* but i speak not of what you're thinking.
i never do.

so the second thing i did this morning was look at all my
posters to make sure. i sought out his face and outlined
it carefully with my trained eyes and waited. sure enough,
memories floated to the surface and gave me assurance that
kingdoms rise and fall. he stared back at me, sometimes
hidden behind the shades, sometimes naked as adam (...),
sometimes seductive as sex, sometimes all grown up and
knowing it. but he looked back at me, same as always,
loyal, understanding, patient. and i breathed with relief
that i should be so lucky.

same as always,
elena
