Reunion

I don’t know why I envision a reunion of us, filled with hugs kisses and sex.

It’s peak romantic fiction, in my mind.

Because I state all the reasons why I’m undesirable, I have those last two things you wrote to me, that xanga message, those e-mails before I went to Norway.

I can plainly see that, I can use that as evidence that we will never be again, but the thoughts and feelings persist.

The dreams happen whether I like it or not.

My chest still swells as if I can confide in these, delusions, and say something cliche like “in the end, everything will work out, and everything will be okay.”

It’s a farce.

Why?

Why does this keep happening?

What do I do about it?

It’s like no amount of logic will quiet my heart and soul, they push and pull and urge me to reach out to you.

I just stuff these feelings deep down in my body until it begins to grow out of my toenails?

What else can I do?

Is there anything?

Please, God, Universe, Help Me.

Save me from myself.
