(1) Resist

I'm so painfully strained as I try to resist dialing your phone or pronouncing your name. Sometimes, it is better to never see someone again because, I know, I could never hold anything against you! I would never count the men who had kissed you, I would accept with any betrayal for the sight of your eyes. So many storms have been gathering in your acute absence, I've already weathered and survived more than I ever conceived possible. Somewhere your smile in the sunlight is making the existence of a man meaningful, and I don't begrudge him. 9: 06PM 9-24-2017
