In his mind, it still glistened.
It was such a perfect day.
That day that never came.
Years didn't pass all at once.
That's not how they slip by.
They elude us, quietly, in between routines that felt productive enough to avoid asking harder questions.
Every so often he would open that drawer.
He'd look in there.
Not to write.
Just to check.
To remind himself that it was still there.
That he hadn't given up.
No, not him.
He could start.
But not yet.
And that was enough.
It was enough to keep the story alive without ever having to live it.
Because as long as it stayed untouched, it stayed perfect.
No bad chapters.
No doubt.
