I feel the steady beat of my pulse in my head, and imagine I can feel yours as my fingers briefly dance across the back of your hand. A bitter-sweet inbetwixt: *I blink back sour tears, crimson trickle eased out of palms by clenched fist-and-nail.* My mind runs wild with thoughts of you, a long-forgotten smile stretching from ear to ear. Your taste fills my mouth and her acridity is gone, a moment that will always last forever. *I am dismissed and distressed, and as I hear her close the door behind her for the last time I loose a low growl, the start of a tri-month darkness and a half-year struggle.* I feel a resonance that I once sought to abandon, the strumming of strings in my heart. Eyes lock and soundlessly whisper the passionate trinity: "I loved you." "I love you."

Inbetwixt
I feel the steady beat of my pulse in my head, and imagine I can feel yours as my fingers briefly dance across the back of your hand. A bitter-sweet inbetwixt: *I blink back sour tears, crimson trickle eased out of palms by clenched fist-and-nail.* My mind runs wild with thoughts of you, a long-forgotten smile stretching from ear to ear. Your taste fills my mouth and her acridity is gone, a moment that will always last forever. *I am dismissed and distressed, and as I hear her close the door behind her for the last time I loose a low growl, the start of a tri-month darkness and a half-year struggle.* I feel a resonance that I once sought to abandon, the strumming of strings in my heart. Eyes lock and soundlessly whisper the passionate trinity: "I loved you." "I love you."
