I Will Find The Strength Within Me To Live Without You, Create A New, Meaningful Purpose, And Leave Everything

I will find the strength within me to live without you, create a new, meaningful purpose, and leave everything in the past. I will be “cool” for someone else. And I know for sure that we will accidentally meet at the central jamrock on a warm summer morning in seventy-three, in the last year of the existence of Revachol. I don’t know what day or what time, but you will be with your husband and your grown daughter, while I will be tired after a night shift, yet absolutely sober and happy in my own way. I will smile at you, and you probably won’t recognize me. Or you’ll pretend not to.

Once, I prayed for that meeting, and if it had happened sooner, I would have certainly warned you about many things, tried to apologize for a lot, begged you to come back to me, and told you how terrible my years of loneliness were. But now, I am just happy for you. And for myself.

On that summer morning in seventy-three, Main Street will give the pale yet another *just a memory* of one person about another.
