Months of Melting Ice Cream
My ice cream is melting. I don't even really like chocolate chip ice cream. I notice my absent-minded thoughts aren't slowing my tears (or the movement of cancer) and my thoughts finally drift to the subject at hand. Why didn't we talk more? Can you hear me? I don't think he can hear me. "I love you." The rest of the words are lodged in my throat. But we spent so much time together these last few months. Months of melting ice cream. If there weren't so many damn people here maybe I'd be able to say what I want.
