In my mind, in my heart.
Over and over again for the past year.
Maybe I still don’t see them fully or perfectly, even with time, even with hindsight.
But All. I. Want.
Is to see them again.

It’s dark, but not full dark.
If I wish, right now, something will happen. It has to.
I close my eyes.
I say a name.
This was always who it was going to be.

I’ve been trying to assign the clues to different people. Syd. Sam. Alex. Jack. Ella. I tried to bend them, to make them match up with who I most wanted to come back right then.
I tried to make them fit anyone.
I tried to make them fit everyone.

Hello?I say.
But
No one’s here.
They will never be here.
The only person here
is me.

I am the one at the jump.
I am the one
who came back.
