Twenty-Six
It's been
twenty-six
days since I've heard your
voice.
I don't know where you've gone or why you've gone there.
I just know that right now your presence is nonexistent and my heart is as tenuous as the leaves
f
a
l
l

from the trees outside.
I hope to expect you in a few days.
If not, what should I understand our relationship has become?
It may be as hypothetical as the love you said we had.
It is me?
Is it the way I laugh or that I don't like your music?
Is it you?
Is it our differences of opinion of God and life?
I contemplate as I play with my deck of cards, counting them as the thoughts r a c e through my head.
There are twenty-six black and twenty-six red.
Maybe it's our age.
I know some people do not like it.
For I am twenty-one, and you are twenty-six.
