The tavern was empty tonight.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnONWOLYQT
And I felt full.
Not with sorrow.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5oXiHaBZs
Not with joy.
Just… full of something that wanted to speak, but had no mouth.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fgsfzX4Xu
So I brewed nothing. I sat. I wrote.
And the words came without names:
I love,59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3PEoFaHXZ
I Love,59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmGciEjxnm
I love,59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5Jhau1io1
I love…59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ975TLchzQB
I love,59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrjrs6kKEl
I love…59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBtBPCqISY
I love.
No guest. No face. No story walked through the door.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPymoGmRZA
But each time I wrote it, I saw someone.
A stranger who once sang to the spoons.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXiu40ecNS
A woman who left a single feather behind.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDdt5Hq3Bh
A boy who never spoke, but always listened.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrxHujyWZ1
A hand that trembled. A voice that cracked.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbKjRhwRQI
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,59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gp9aKkrIq
and it did not flicker.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiy1CGB6f6x
It bowed.
If no one walks in tomorrow, that will be fine.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFYnY0LgUa
The tavern is already full.
And so am I.
