rememberance day
Of course I remember those who went to their deaths for us. I remember the dead, the dying, the lost and abandoned. The majority of humanity, those who were given the short end of the stick.
but that depresses me... and so then I remember you.
I remember the paper that covered the flowers you gave me on valentines day all those years ago. I remember the way you reacted when you first saw my foot kick out. I remember how you look when you sleep, and how you never complain when i wake you up 100 times a night. I remember your shadowed face when we talked about happiness in april on that god-forsaken futon. I remember the feeling when i couldn't find you at the train station in september. I remember that strange light in your eyes thanksgiving monday when you realised that your world had changed yet again... but mostly I remember how i can't take my eyes off of you. How you make the rest of the world an unimportant blur in the background. And especially that swelling of feeling I get when we have given over to the vortex and I can't stop looking in your eyes.
heh... yeah. that unbrideled happiness and surge of hope.
I remember that that is what you have given to me.
I love you. I really do.
your kitten.
