I hope I never lose you

hindsight seems pretty close when you're standing in front of false promises and brown eyes. The speck on the collar of his shirt, her perfume clinging to his hair, the sigh of incredulity. Filling in gaps to form some kind of conclusion-an ending that truly ends the story. No end credits. But that's the thing, the story never truly ends. Some people really love watching reruns, and some films never truly die. It follows you. At red lights, you can see both silhouettes dancing between the green and yellow lights, ultimately landing at the red one. Your once favorite restaurant becomes an unspoken trace of the the night you had one too many chardonnays. The stain of ripe blueberries on your thumb and index finger- several washes later it may fade in time but you'll always know it was stained and though on the surface it fades the stain seems to seep through each ridge and somehow stain the white dress you wore that Wednesday afternoon. You'll try to box it up, attempt to drive to a donation center- ultimately you will drive around with that stain, that memory for months on end because maybe just maybe you could remove the stain. You could learn to work around it, it's small enough to the naked eye, right? But you know it's there. It's always there.
