memento mori

I think that everything is still the same with him, but I'm worried. There's nothing I can do about being with him right now except remember the way it was. And I don't mind the way things are now if I know they will change in the future. He who has a why can withstand almost any how.

But memory is tricky. It is triggered by sight and sound and smell: those very things that are entirely what I wish to remember about him. I know the same things about our relationship, but I don't feel them. What I feel instead is longing.

I had one of my stupidly weird dreams last night about him, but I didn't like it. It wasn't really him. His face, his clothes, his expression, were all from the photograph on my desk.

I miss the real. But is now the dream, or was then?
