last night, i had a dream;

I dreamed that I was sitting in a theatre somewhere.. and whatever show was going on I had something to do with.. perhaps I had stage managed it, I'm not sure. But I was sitting in the balcony, and I knew you were there, I knew you were coming.
And then there you were.
You didn't see me, so I called out your name.
You asked if I had just said your name.
I asked if you remembered me.
You didn't...You called me another name.
But you reached out your hand to me,
I took it for a moment,
disgust and annoyance filling me up.

Then there he was,
the one who never knew me,
staring straight at me,
remembering me,
empathizing.
But only for a second.

And then you both were gone,
as if I had never been there.

And I was left empty, and you were left full.


"Didn't I see this movie? And didn't I cry?...
I have seen this movie. And I walked out.
I'm walking..."
