I forget how it felt to hold you. What it meant to have you. So foreign, it couldn't have been me that experienced that. I've loved since then, but our touch, that kind of touch. I haven't had that in years and I won't ever have it again. And I've been fine with that. I left. But you haunt me sometimes, not often, but enough to warn me. How unlikely is it that... that was... it? That you were it? Because it feels likely. There was a moment in time when you meant everything to me. Is it so unlikely that there is a timeline where it worked out? I guess it's more that the touch I get from just anyone is bland. And to never get to form a relationship again. From where I'm standing, numb, memories of what that kind of commitment feels like, erased. Maybe that's it for me.

Perhaps My Only Chance
