It didn’t feel real

Not because it wasn’t,

but because I didn’t.


She smiled,

and I smiled back,

but part of me

was watching it happen

like a memory being written in real time.


And when it was over,

everything that slipped away

came rushing in at once.


I finally surfaced,

I saw what I missed

and what was never there

while just trying to survive.
