That face Oct. 12, 2025

  

I see it; I don’t believe it, all these years later, the same pang I got when I saw it way back when, different only in the periphery, hair longer, reaped over her should, n ot not the mouth or eyes, looking out from the picture frame as it did when I first saw it, drawing out of me the same acute reaction I can’t help but feel.

How this is possible, I can’t say, our livings having diverged, off into opposite directions, she finding the niche she spent a life time seeking, while I remain, like a rock, here in the same place, feeling the same as I did, helpless to modify the intensity of it, and so much do as I have always done, endure, taking off comfort in the fact that she still exists and is as hard to resist as she always was.
