gja Hilarious that after all this time: it is you.
Of everyone that is possible: it is you.
All the water under the bridge: it is you.
Do you remember the conversation sitting on the stairs of the closed canteen that day?
Of course you don’t. And why should you. No reason.

If I told you that moment was seminal for me would you understand?
Probably not; and that is OK too. I am not, cannot be, upset or offended.
If pressed maybe I would even say I am a little relieved.
You see - my memory is clear. It always has been and always will be.
It is a curse and a privilege. I could tell you what temperature it was that day.
I could track the prevailing breeze to the nearest compass point.. I could tell you what I had for lunch. And I know what you had too.

But that moment, those moments, are gone. And I am not sad.
I am happier that they are now my memories now. They are undisturbed by he or she or everyone but me. They get dusted off when I say. They get filed under the letter I want. They get shared when I c(d)are.
Did I tell you I was a control freak?

I appreciate your courage. Even if I laugh at it; I do. And I know that you know that.
Remember Coleridge:

On a bleak rock, midway the Aonian mount,
There stands a lone and melancholy tree,
Whose agéd branches to the midnight blast
Make solemn music: pluck its darkest bough,
Ere yet the unwholesome night-dew be exhaled,
And weeping wreath it round thy Poet’s tomb.
Then in the outskirts, where pollutions grow,
Pick the rank henbane and the dusky flowers
Of night-shade, or its red and tempting fruit,
These with stopped nostril and glove-guarded hand
Knit in nice intertexture, so to twine,
The illustrious brow of Scotch Nobility!
