Today, I realized,
As No One stood before me,
That it is possible to
Miss someone who was never there.

The vacant space in front of me
Felt more solid and heavy
Than my own being,
And with all of my will,
I could not walk through that
Non-Existent Person if I
Tried.

I attempted conversation.
My words fell to my feet and
The Empty Air seemed too
Superior to listen –
As if my words could never possibly amount
To the Nothingness beside me.

So,
We sat in silence together.
We did not have tea,
We did not reminisce about the past.

I held hands with The Wind.

I am more alone than ever.
