- Have you ever forgotten your height?
- When you're standing next to an old friend, do you often feel compelled to grab their hand and say "Don't go, please stay?"
- Do you often kick yourself for saying things you should have taken back?
- Do you blush when someone calls your name?

The night is cold, and the stars are so bright, shining sharp pinpricks. And I want to be out in it. I am longing for long romantic nights again, but all I seem to get is nights in separate chairs in separate desks. Or on the couch, falling asleep on each other's shoulders while the television speaks softly its hypnotism.

Edited to Say ::
Usually, I am the one doing the leaving. Every four years or so, packing up my house, my life, and taking off to someplace else and leaving a life behind me.
Now, my best friend is leaving tomorrow (on my birthday), and I am sitting at work trying not to cry. I am doing all of the customary "Don't cry don't cry don't cry" things I do: biting lips, keeping my mind busy, looking at the celing, averting eyes. And it's not working.
