Can I at Least Get a Kiss Goodbye?
Non-fiction by Jacob Moritz
As I am sitting here in my body, my mind is wandering through
thoughts,
slowing down on the happiest ones of you and reminding me of the
dimmest
ones in the possible future. I can't help but feel like I want to
sleep, but when I lay down I stay awake as our relationship plays like
a
projector on the pitch-black air. Why so abruptly? How should I
respond? With anger? No. With vengeance? No. With spite? No. With
love? No. I will just keep myself small and in the background, like a
mouse waiting for his chance to run out of the shadows and rejoice in
the spring fields, but sadly that is not the case. There will be no
rejoicing because you are gone. And you left me with all of these
questions, and no kiss goodbye. If you could do at least one thing
for
me, please bring me that final kiss and I will know for sure that you
are not mine.
