The tavern was empty tonight.14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugsG2oAzaV
And I felt full.
Not with sorrow.14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMatKT72VSj
Not with joy.
Just… full of something that wanted to speak, but had no mouth.14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUJ61LqRys
So I brewed nothing. I sat. I wrote.
And the words came without names:
I love,14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyv2YeSHD1i
I Love,14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1ERsoE47y
I love,14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdmKZY3u71
I love…14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiKgRkZJ5d
I love,14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrDkJsRA6a
I love…14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxtlbB44qs
I love.
No guest. No face. No story walked through the door.14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ifyOJzcSw
But each time I wrote it, I saw someone.
A stranger who once sang to the spoons.14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyr1jIq88af
A woman who left a single feather behind.14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78P2diXmZu
A boy who never spoke, but always listened.14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ER5IOb2ck
A hand that trembled. A voice that cracked.14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgE8HoIF2Gg
A gaze that held too much past.
They’re all here. In these words.
Not as memories.
As warmth.
The fire watched me write the last one,14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucauWayyzN
and it did not flicker.14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiTyf3Mxy1
It bowed.
If no one walks in tomorrow, that will be fine.14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MrFvSrCrF
The tavern is already full.
And so am I.
