shadows of you [#1]

it

i tasted a strawberry today.

it was sweet and familiar. it filled my senses, and happiness spread through me as i tasted more.

it was like an addiction, where the sweetness merged with my mind to create happiness. everything was so familiar, even the smile i had on for the celebration. it was a real smile.

and the funniest thing about it was that you never appeared once in my mind, as if your image had faded away to some place else for the day.

and now that i'm resting here, i can't tell if that makes me happy or sad or both at the same time. but perhaps it makes me feel neither of those.

perhaps i feel relieved.
