You had held my hand for approximately three hours; walking in, and sitting in the dark with your face lit in a subtle orange from the man on screen’s t-shirt. I framed the ticket, but now the beginning twinkle of that song from the soundtrack that we would duet in the car, it hurts. I turn it off. You took it from me, along with that dress with daisies on it, four friends, Halloween, and red lipstick. I had wanted to share with you, found joy in merging lives as I found joy in interlocking fingers like that. But everything swapped hands, and you walked away. Stevie Nicks sang about The Dealer, but I couldn’t listen to her either, she sounded like the Tuesday you taught me to use your record player, how we loved that breakup album. I didn’t listen till December. Long after you left I was still skipping songs for you, running from you in radio, cutting my hair, throwing out clothes. I never watched the film again.
