what is it you were going to say

i stopped writing when i stopped being in love.

i was going to be a writer, and he was going to be a physicist, and now we are both going to be lawyers.

i was his first girlfriend.

it is the middle of the night and i am looking through old photo albums. sometimes i let myself go like this: remember past lives, half lives expired on a shelf. listen to those songs. looking out a window, looking down a shirt. folding my origami limbs back under the covers.

goodnight.
