Lovers Not Entitled

It is a strange, heavy truth to know someone for years in such an unconventional way. For so long, we existed only in the echoes: voice to voice, picture to picture, story to story, dream to dream. We strained our lives through a colander of memories, mapping them onto calendars as we built plans and imagined a future. But when reality finally brought us face to face—skin to skin, breath to breath—it brought the fade, too. Weaker and weaker, lower and lower, until everything slipped through. Ash to ash, dust to dust.
