The Love Troll

It knew of the unknowable distance that grew between us, but God knows how it got there - one day it wandered in, pinned its tenancy to the inside of my chest and sat there, observing, oblivious to nothing. It was a keen musician, keeping tempo with my tempo, slept when I slept, read when I read. I continued as normal amid the newness of letting go with an awareness of it  that snuck past definition. Once, on the way to college, I saw its reflection holding steady in the window of a passing train  and I found a privilege to the age I was present in. It ended its stay at the next stop, but before it was lost to the crowd, it looked back  and we smiled to each other knowing that the dialogue  between me and you - however unspoken - would continue.  And that was the last I saw of it without ceremony but with rhythm in its shoes.

First time, you let me stay the night despite your own rules You took off early to go cheat your way through film school You left a note in your perfect script: "Stay as long as you want" And I haven't left your bed since.
