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.
