Online reality

Something has changed.

Forever.

I can feel that it has.

My reality has shifted so completely.

Back to where I started.

You were so real under my touch -

And already I can feel the memory slipping away.

Was that a dream or reality? A fanfic?

Was everything just in my head?

Am I losing everything?

The boy that changed my world,

Now existing from my perspective

As only a green dot on a screen

A profile picture

A few messages back and forth.

It's not fair.

He deserves so much more than that.

But how could being online

Ever capture what we had in person?

The devastation.

The heartbreak.

It's going to be a long summer...

A long year.

    I guess I've been thinking

    The story mountain we made

    And the characters didn't even get their lives told

    Because ours crashed and burned before we could handle it

  • I Won't

    Nope

    I'm not going back to school.

    I'm going to ignore the back-to-school ads

    And shopping trips

    The packing

    The new outfits

    The brand-new pencils

    I won't do it

  • Glimpses

    Noise

    Warming up

    Keys

    Fingerings

    Chatter

    Laughter

    The chorale

    Stopping

    Starting

    "Again"

    "I know you can do better than that"

    Serious but

    You also love it
