I bask in the memory of those orange afternoons when the tires run smoothly on a sun-kissed asphalt. My heart just stared blankly at everything, unabashed, silent and roaring.

Stalled

How do you let go of someone who never even had the chance to say goodbye?

I was working on my organic chemistry problems about a quarter past 1 am earlier today. I had an exam to accomplish in a few hours. Not a single soul was alive except for a lunatic that was dancing in the middle of a mute night. That was I, with my headphones isolating me from the sleeping world. After a few minutes of headbangin' I found myself scribbling words that had nothing to do with hydroxylation or stereochemistry.

Soft tiny streams stroked down my face one after the other. My clueless nose started sniffing back fluids that tell of an unforgiving sadness. The kind that only time can measure.

 

The kind that reminds you how this life is beyond you. That loving cannot promise you a painless story. That death is real.

 

It's been two months since that longest weekend of my life. I thought I've had enough tears shed over it already. The memory of him lifelessly breathing through an intubator keeps me drifting to that hollow place where I cannot win. I keep stumbling at my knees every time I come to that point when it says "Let go".

 

He didn't even say goodbye. Until now I keep asking him to stay inside my memory. Every bit of memory that I can keep. Because that's the only way for me to keep him. And I don't think I can even start to face the truth of letting go.
