And I wish, for once, that you were near me. Your smile, your laugh. The sanctuary of your arms, the only place I've ever felt whole. Safety. Your body like a church, protecting my soul, my Self, from the world. And now, I've lost the only good thing about reality, and had not even realized it was happening. Shaking, I set aside our old letters; attempting to hold in the tears. Pain demands to be felt, as they break free one by one, a torrent of pain and regret. Broken, I miss you. My one and only, my missing piece. In your memory, I've lost a lifetime. In my haste, I lost you. Now, I have lost myself as well.
