October October. Your birthday. I was the first to wish you. You kept it hush– don’t tell anyone, you said. I obeyed. Like a dog. When you pat my hair I bared, but you’re tearing my heart inside. I’m scared. October. Smiles and cameras. If my friends didn’t push me then, I’ll have no proof you exist. Will that be better? But I’m happy. I’m always happy. October. Studies, studies, studies. I was drowned in studies. And food. I thought I forgot about you for good. Yet amidst equations, you’re there. How can I ever fare? October. Memes, dreams… Dreams. At night, alone, I do feel a bit lonely. Empty… Nah. I got my gutsy guitar. We jammed till daylight. October thirty-first. Ooh, spooky– hold my gin, I’m gonna burst– listened to good ol’ rock as I drank whiskey on rock, coke– I had fun of course– without you. Without you– October, ending in an hour. A friend and I in the bus, We laughed. My mate returned. The bed is no longer bare. October, November. If liquor can erase my entire hard drive, then so be it. But just of you. Just of… Just of… who?
