2. Words Like Fossils
It’s been such a long time since I’ve seen your face, but I still keep all the poems you wrote for me. They’re hidden away in random places, scattered really, so that maybe the pain of your memory is scattered along with them.
There are a couple in the glove compartment of my car, a few underneath my bed and one hanging up on my bulletin board that I walk past every day and try my hardest not to see. (I should take it down, right? Not as easy as it sounds.)
We used to say “always” all the time and now whenever I say it I think back to the first time we did. I understand now why people say that words never really lose their meaning and how associations are sometimes so much stronger than dictionary definitions.
I’ve tried to keep the verses away, but I can’t help how heavy my memories are. Sometimes I still hear the love you had in your voice when you read to me when I sleep. I guess as long as I keep them around you’re never really gone from me, are you? (Honestly, darling, my heart is a dollar in your back pocket just waiting to be discovered before you decide to wash your clothes.)
Your words are like fossils now. Once living expressions of love pressed together in-between the books on my bedside shelf, huddled together in the back corners of my mind, cold as stone.

things I would probably murder for: a vegan Looking for Alaska cake for my 21st birthday
Call me old-fashioned, but there seems something ethically problematic about killing someone to acquire a vegan cake.
