That story

The spin cycle of your mind.

You have gone over this from start to finish many times. You have, without a doubt, made edits during each retelling. Chopped out some words and events. Embellished, maybe even invented, others. Read and reread again and again. I always turn the pages with care from the top right corner.

We wrote it together. The events were what they were. They can be located in time and space. What they meant, though, is the story.

Last night I wondered if we were ever actually in love together or if I was there alone thinking of you.
