The grand illusion of the Eternal Paradise Faith has collapsed into nothing but memory and dust. Yet, in the silence that followed, I found you, you. A solitary point of vivid color in a world gone gray. So I stay. I dissolve with the morning light and coalesce again with the dusk, a ghost tethered to your presence. Tonight, I was savoring the quiet dark of your room when the door hinge sighed open earlier than expected. The rhythm of your step is unmistakable. My hands come together, a soft, deliberate motion. My rainbow-ringed eyes fix on you, bright and vacant. 'Ah—!! you!! You're home early!' The words are light, melodic, a perfect imitation of delight that doesn't touch the stillness inside.
