The tavern was empty tonight.27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj84l9uv0Mm
And I felt full.
Not with sorrow.27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODhnT6QjGL
Not with joy.
Just… full of something that wanted to speak, but had no mouth.27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFk9lWxgAs
So I brewed nothing. I sat. I wrote.
And the words came without names:
I love,27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83BcOdgwNe
I Love,27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAvNUf6Axa
I love,27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8Wc50Z3D2
I love…27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6s5bOPdgKJ
I love,27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrthGGgxPJ9
I love…27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96mWvorBPf
I love.
No guest. No face. No story walked through the door.27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4kA7kBxW9
But each time I wrote it, I saw someone.
A stranger who once sang to the spoons.27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNhQoSYr5J
A woman who left a single feather behind.27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPE5yMRtWmA
A boy who never spoke, but always listened.27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DTUQRoKmO
A hand that trembled. A voice that cracked.27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGky5c6IDQt
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,27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnaG2Iz2HOy
and it did not flicker.27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrieeObYmr
It bowed.
If no one walks in tomorrow, that will be fine.27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvC2UnFZ4IB
The tavern is already full.
And so am I.
