TW: DV (I think) and Toxic Relationships, strong biblical references

I miss eve said Adam as Eve bent over a stove, an apron around her red and white checkered waist. 

I don't wish to go to paradise because I fear I'd be alone

Not alone exactly, but how can an afterlife be perfect for one without one being alone with the false fabrications of those they wanted to keep?

I miss you like I miss my childhood and good God,

I think it's because that's what you were.

You were a childhood fantasy and now you are gone

we're

two teenagers who don't look when we pass in the hall

I would look at one and smile

see a teenager with cupid bow lips

see deep brown eyes, too big for them

see off center and crooked features

see too round of a face, too sharp of a jaw

When we drove through my hometown for the first time, I asked her, "What do you see?"

And she stared at the setting Ohio sun, at the too cold outside with not enough snow, at the streets I called home.

You are a student of a language, warping butter-like words on your tongue.
