Footnote: Receipt

Found in my car's back
seat, the receipt for paying
her phone service back
on:  torn, and tearing up, I
tore it up---shreds to the breeze.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

 

Seeing the receipt, unexpectly, was like a punch to the gut.  I could hardly contain my sorrow.  Seeing her name and number printed there, I wanted to text her, to tell her I love her, that I do not know how not to love her, and that I miss her every moment of every day.  I did not.

And Now

...she is just litter on the side of the road. Sad. Reading a lot of lost love poetry lately. You paid for it and you are still paying for it? I've had my share of literally picking up the tab. Anger is a good answer - it's healthy! ~A~

thank you . . .

and yes, I am still paying for it.  I have gotten to the point where a random thought of her does not bring tears, immediately, but there are times of the day, or reminders, that bring the rainstorm as quickly as a summer pop-up storm.
