They are gone, dreams drifting on a wisp of smog curling down the freeway. Smiling hazel eyes, a laugh fades into distance, a holographic memory across a room. I want to kick myself for remembering. Kick myself.

It's brooding, it's...not leaving the past behind...a past that lied to me, I lied to myself...

The shining river of grooved pavement rattles rhythmically conjuring a memory of a burgundy hoodie and a dark brown head bent over a pencil...

...lied to myself...

You'd think I'd learn a lesson about reality, after once or twice. But over and over like this...there is no hope, no excuse for this strange insanity. Romantics are the curse of the earth.
