I both remember and don't remember Gary. I knew he has freckles everywhere. He drinks his coffee with an awful lot of cream. He laughs too much, even at unfunny things. I remember the feeling of his skin on mine... But that's all. I can't remember his face, his voice, or any particular moment spent with him.
I know I loved him, he loved me, but then I lost him, we lost each other.
And then Gary wasn't here.
And then there was Johnny.
I haven't known him for long (maybe a couple years, at best), but there was something between us. We wanted something to happen, but we decided we wanted to let it happen slowly. To take all the time needed to get closer.
But then something happened. I died, I think, that's what my job was all about.
I can't remember loving Gary.
And I died before I could love Johnny.
