this morning #639.

this morning, love was in the air. to be fair, that love was thinning out & its trajectory had been sloping severely downward with each & every day. he refused to give up though & kept holding on to the time when the romance felt more robust. now, it was just a matter of recalling what had first sparked that romance. when his partner was about to head off to work, he hurried over to her & held her tight, trying to suck up as much of that feeling of security as possible before she stepped out the door. her absence brought him nothing but fear, fear that one day his love would start to overwhelm her & she would step out, never to return. he would just have to learn how to cope with being alone.
