Linger

like that look I would always disregard,
the passing of the salt,
the pat on the back,
and "Hello, it's been awhile hasn't it?"

Nothing more than the years that has passed.
Nothing more than the fact we are here, happier without-

I found a whole box of Gifts today.
(a snicker and a look from Yan)

For fallen hopes, empty promises and shattered dreams,
Please, forgive me.
