(Su) [got a development job lined up in Syndria ~natsuki] I still think it's crazy that you're not going to San Francisco -Law 2/8 [I think it's crazy that you are! ~natsuki] [story time] And you will remember --- What will you remember? I remember evenings together in the kitchen, making lasagna or vegetable stir-fry or, once, that Moroccan dish whose name I can't recall, which ended up slightly burnt and with a mild flavor of cardamom that we had never put in and couldn't figure out for the life of ourselves where it came from. I remember you, in the apron, frilly and white except for the times when we switched and you wore my straight-edged maroon one. I remember chatting in the park after we'd eaten and were both almost too full to think. "Are you all right?" "I'm fine. This is nothing. I almost sliced my finger off once trying to cut a particularly stubborn carrot in college." And then you would ignore my reassurances and kiss the wound, and place a bandage over it, the dot of seeping blood peeking through the gauze and the flesh-colored adhesive backing, and I would feel blessed. In Biblical terms, I would be the lover, and you would be the beloved. But that always felt backwards for us. You were always the one full of affection and warm feelings, and I accepted them guilty that I couldn't reciprocate as much as I thought I should. And even then you told me that it didn't matter, that you didn't love expecting anything in return but loved because it was the only thing you knew how to do, that you couldn't _not_ love me. It made me redouble my efforts, want to love you even more, want to show you the depths of that love, even though I never felt like I knew how. And then you were gone, and all that was left of you were my memories. I can't ask what you would remember, but I still do. I convince myself of the doubts I nursed while you were still here, because now you're not present to disabuse me of them. You become perfect, a symbol, while I become ever more hideous and profane, unworthy of what you gave me, undeserving of even the happiness that I had in the past. I am nothing and you are everything, though in the eyes of others, and what they call reality, I have our roles backwards.
