The tavern was empty tonight.62Please respect copyright.PENANAkLqDqcliU9
And I felt full.
Not with sorrow.62Please respect copyright.PENANAzUSL68oPPy
Not with joy.
Just… full of something that wanted to speak, but had no mouth.62Please respect copyright.PENANAjBsQd4jSHv
So I brewed nothing. I sat. I wrote.
And the words came without names:
I love,62Please respect copyright.PENANAi3f7erb1Ur
I Love,62Please respect copyright.PENANAwVYmG7ZeVA
I love,62Please respect copyright.PENANAI2pLGFKL6P
I love…62Please respect copyright.PENANAgriAsEFZbS
I love,62Please respect copyright.PENANAg4TuxmL0HV
I love…62Please respect copyright.PENANArX3TM3dMSf
I love.
No guest. No face. No story walked through the door.62Please respect copyright.PENANAt5IJs77YnU
But each time I wrote it, I saw someone.
A stranger who once sang to the spoons.62Please respect copyright.PENANABOawB4Rx3Z
A woman who left a single feather behind.62Please respect copyright.PENANAmqRLjuJ1SS
A boy who never spoke, but always listened.62Please respect copyright.PENANAtojB7wcvI6
A hand that trembled. A voice that cracked.62Please respect copyright.PENANAXdT2V5Jmfd
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,62Please respect copyright.PENANAHNK9IsqGxq
and it did not flicker.62Please respect copyright.PENANAdfIgAs5cYi
It bowed.
If no one walks in tomorrow, that will be fine.62Please respect copyright.PENANA0y4KcHCYRq
The tavern is already full.
And so am I.
