a note for j.
perhaps i like to be alone
but it could be, i like to be alone with you,
but how can that be? i am always alone and i want it always to be that way,
i cannot be alone with you, as you are never alone with everybody,

i stop for a while asking, and saying oh yeah, there was a time when you said
that, that you are alone, all so alone still with everybody and i begin to
empathize with you
i tried to wear one of your shoes, trying to fit in there, but it is not helping,
i could have told you, write me a letter, imitate my voice, use the sentences i left in your door,
but how can that be? you were here first, and i am too young to feel your
sorrow
sorry, i prefer to be left alone.
just the way, i think, God, also prefers it to be.
by the way, did not God say he loves man?
i mean, yes, humanity, that frailness that He does not have.
But which he understands.
