"A ghost named near"

I have found out how to love fractions of time

and how to let them each go like air from my lungs.

I loved her.

A perfect silhouette, always running from a fleeting moment.

I fell in love with a ghost named near.

She showed me the beauty in my smallness, the perfection in my Tuesdays

and how to stop searching for happiness running after

a ghost named Gone.
