This is in a way about a particular person and about myself.

Can you see me? Am I here? The air is so cold. If I had known you were coming I would have dressed more appropriately. Maybe I should have left earlier. I should have gotten you a present. Something that wasn�t breakable. You never were very careful. I should have known. It is not your fault of course. Maybe something you could hug. Can you see the pain? I can hear a waterfall near by. Can you hear it too? It reminds me of us. You don�t understand. I see it in your eyes. You shake your head as though you have no feeling. Your portrait is so very beautiful and yet you have no pride. I used to be proud enough for you. Maybe I should get you a dog. I wonder. Would you be able to look after it? You can bearly look after yourself. The sorrow in your eyes show me you want me back. But I am too strong for you now. You cry as though you never wept before. Do you cry for me or for yourself? Maybe a dog would be too much work. Loyalty requires loyalty. I will leave now. Do not weep for what you miss. Laugh for what you have got.
