May 1988
When you stand in front of a large body of water at night, it almost looks like a mirror. It's this crystalline reflection of the moon and your face and it makes you want to keep staring forever.
And sometimes you look into the water and all it reflects is the weight of your mistakes. Your vision is invaded by rocks in pockets and tied wrists on an immobilized body, doomed to drowning.
Sometimes you wonder if love was ever enough for you, you wonder if you ever appreciated your lover. You wonder if your choice was right.
Sometimes you look into the water and a murderer is looking back at you, and he's saying "Run! Turn around and pretend it never happened. Wash his blood away and pretend his hands were never in your hair. Pretend he never made you feel worthy of life."
And so you turn aroud, feeling like you don't deserve your life, because he never existed to tell you that you do.
