Subject: los ojos triste

"I wish I could remember," he said to me.

The light cast shadows across his face, covering eyes that were meant to be seen. This moment was meant to be seen.

I tried to hold on.

The knot in my throat expanded, and I tried to break away from here, but the pain on his face was real.

I kissed his forehead, once, then again. His hands came up around me and grasped my shoulders like he had to squeeze all life from me to survive.

He didn't know I needed him to for my own survival.

"I'll love you forever, nomatter where we are."

The knot had taken over, and it was time to cry it free. The words I had spoken were also real. Their truth broke my heart. It's asthough I had never loved before him and never would again.

"I could see myself with you my whole life," he said.

I knew.

I also knew he would be okay, he would love again, and my name would come up in conversation one day.

I had papered the walls of my psyche with memories. I would dream him and cry him.

I would give up what I need to suvive to turn the clock back.

"My sweet love."

-I couldn't breathe. This was the last time.

And then he was gone . . . and it would be as if he never were if I hadn't burned him into my soul.
