a life lived.
not to live. not living. lived.
flirtations passed, lovers dead, hopes and dreams and plans achieved or let go.
the immediacy of passion and opinions tempered by time; experience revealing an hour's inadequacy, a day's inconsequence, a week's insignificance. seeing a lifetime of insignificances add up to a sum total of your worth.
memories fading, leaving holes without explanation.
but age has failed to mature the beauty of a foggy morning from you. scarlet-streaked sunsets must still stir the romantic in you.
to what end?
the end.
