scratch

by Angela Thomas

I keep searching. I keep digging around internet forums, dating sites,
bars, friends' parties. I keeplooking for you to be buried somewhere
admist all of this crap. But, you know, you're just not and everytime I think
I've found something that might be enough to help me forgot you, there

you are. Dialing me on the phone, sending me longing emails, asking
me to come and visit. I wanted to visit. I wanted to crawl up into your
big, safe arms and stay there for a very, very long time while I cried,
just enough that I felt relieved, but maybe not enough that would really

even notice. I want to kiss you. I want to hold your long fingers and stare
at your perfect legs that are too long for small spaces. If only I could run
my hands over your face, one last time. Maybe that would work. I remember
the last time I saw you. I held your hand and I tried, I tried so hard to memorize

every last detail. I never wanted to forget. I feared you would pull your hand
from me. Leaving me to cross these busy streets without the reassurance of you.

I related very much to this. Always in the same old pond, hearing the ocean beckon.
