a month had passed

or maybe two.

i didn't know.

time was skewed.

hours felt like days

and minutes dragged for hours.

he had cured me of my loneliness 

after i had become so accustomed to it.

he stole me away from my empty apartment

filling  it with his scent 

and his presence.

taking up the space

that had been unoccupied

since i moved in.

now all that was left

was the memories

and the green flannel hanging on the back of the chair.
