If I turn around I can see the sun, the moon, the stars. I can't imagine a dream, more conclusive in its ending. They all fall. I cannot find a solution. I cannot find an answer to this never ending thought. I tried today to find a light, to light this cave I've descended into. Instead I found more darkness, just. It shone, as light would, but reflected nothing. But this darkness does not intimidate me. I do not fear it. I just do not understand it. When you smile, I find it to be absolutely fascinating. but I do not know how to respond. It does not provoke my own face to mimic your emotion. So i look on in the darkness for an emotion I can fathom to explain. To repeat. I fail. I find joy, but it is not the joy you feel. Mine is not a feeling. not an emotion. it is an idea, a lucid dream. my imagination, telling me the difference between my smile and yours. I know you. I wish I knew you better. I want to watch you, like I used to. Like I used to so enjoy to do. But life has taken us separate directions. No. Truth, I miss you. Prost.
