I said

I have to sit down

So I found bench

sat down

and tried to remember

how to breathe.

I’ve scared you

she said. Sorry.

No.

I mean yes.

I knew this would be confusing for you.

How did you know?

I know because I know you.

I’ve known you for quite a while.

How can that be?

It will be hard to explain.

Let me start by saying

it took a long time to make this connection

this bridge.

I looked around, my mind reeling.

What bridge?

The one between me and you.

It’s how you can hear me

see me.

None of this was happening out loud.

It was all in my head.

But when I closed my eyes again

I could still see her clearly.

How do you do this?

I built the bridge

to be with you.

Why me?

And I guess I must have said that out loud because

guys from school were walking by and they

looked at me like I was crazy.

Weirdo

one said.

Nutjob

said the other.
