you had never looked so happy

stream-of-consciousness writing, originally done by hand, up-side down.

I wrote a note and it reminded me of all the sad things you used to say about your life. I threw it out the window and watched it fly away. It went into the clouds and into a thunderstorm. The ink ran from all the rain, across the lines, making shapes. It landed somewhere South of the Euphrates River where no-one has looked for Eden. When it was opened, all my sad words were gone, replaced by a picture of you.
You had never looked so happy.
