(no subject)
we drove all night. the roads were thick and white and slick under the tires. my foot fell asleep on the gas pedal. i fell asleep in the driver's seat, pulled over at a gas station at 6:30 in the morning. the radio was on and i had a headache. when i last saw you, you were walking towards airport security. i walked past the escalators and down the stairs with fat tears in my eyes. they froze once i got out the door and walked through the dark towards the car. you didn't cry.
we are so far away from one another that the sun stays out longer in your town. it will be farther still in a matter of days. you fell asleep fast last night. i pressed myself to your back and lay still, breathing and thinking.
i miss you. my throat aches and it makes me think of you.
are you cold and alone in our apartment? did i leave a terrible space?
the space you left in the car made me almost sick. all that air where your warm body had been.
it is winter and there is deep snow. it is a horrible season for good-byes.
