i lifted my head and shifted my eyes to your face as you called my name when you sat down across from me. i felt myself leave my body. my vision became blurry and all i could see was your mouth moving. i asked you if you could repeat that again. "how are you doing?" i answered with a long, extended "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuum." the words couldn't come to my mouth, i couldn't form a two word sentence. my eyes wandered the ceiling, like i was looking for myself to come back. then i answered and you began to talk. i got closer to your face to read your lips but every word i ever knew left my memory and everything was white.
