This is how it’s going to be now, you but no you
Your presence still felt in your absence.
The odds weren’t in favor of it
Couldn’t beat around it, couldn’t go through it.
I saw you, but it seemed like a vision from the back of my minds eyes.
I felt your presence, but like a gush of wind ready to blow off leaves.
I held you in warm embrace, but like a thin linen you floated away.
I wish I could tell you how much I loved you and How much I cared.
All I have left of you now are memories that may last me a lifetime

No Plus One
It's nearly one AM and I just got back from my third wedding of the four in this last month alone, and I have always been alone. I hide behind my camera to pretend to be useful, hide behind a safety net of skill set. So I do not have to confront the loneliness that is sleeping alone when everyone else seems to have a partner to crawl into bed with. I love the time spent with those who decided I was worth the 30-plus dollars per plate they decided to spend on me, and I do not need to have a partner on these occasions, but it would be nice to have someone notice, me. See when I am in the corner because they know I need time to recharge and to kiss me on the head until the time has come to leave. Maybe that's the problem about being a professional storyteller, I dream of something that isn't meant for me.
