Do you know that feeling? When you have lost something but
can’t remember what it was? You are desperately trying to think of it but it
won’t come to you. You have said it a million times before and it was always
there- right where you left it. But now you can’t recall it. You try and try
and make it appear and it almost does. But it never does.
There are times when it surfaces-when I sense it on the tip
of my tongue. I feel it struggling inside my chest to burst forth like a beach
ball that can only be held beneath the water for so long.
I feel it stirring when someone hurts me. When I smile at a
stranger and they don’t smile back. When I trust someone with a secret and they
betray me. When someone I admire tells me I am not good enough for them.
I don’t know what it was that I have lost. But I know it was
important. I know it once made me happy.
