Candlelight

by Erin Jamieson

Nights wandering Target aisles, debating politics in the ice cream parlor, picnics on old wooden bridges with sushi and far too much wasabi. These are the things I take with me, not romantic dinners or hot air balloon rides or concerts or whatever it is other couples do.

And always, now, the evenings, when dusk has set and I imagine you watching the same sky, looking for whatever light is left.
