i bore at this empty white sheet waiting to acquire my words. for i wish to elaborate that night i spent under the stars; so i close my eyes to recall that vision. but, i cant.
all i see is this black void. "look into your mind!" but, i cant.
you told me to shut my eyes, to see the beach. to close my eyes; to imagine a world like that. to cover my vision with my eyelid. to sense that night again. but, i cant.
for, when i 'look' back to that night; i pick up the sheer screeching of the crickets while we counted the stars. i looked at you and smiled; locked in your eyes for a while. surely, i mustve seen something magnificent in them. now, you looked back and laughed; and i had the urge to greet your lips with mine. surely, i mustve seen something lovable in them.
i know, you told me you relive those moments much too often, you compare it to your favorite episode from the office. but, i cant.
i was meant to write about the most special night of my life, but it ended up being about aphantasia. Aphantasia is a mental condition characterized by an inability to voluntarily visualize mental imagery. as an aphant, this means that once a moment has passed, ill never be able to voluntarily visually relive those moments again.
