Dedication: To David, with love. You were my inspiration for this little ficlet, and I thank you for allowing me to feel these things, I've grown and learnt from it all.

You moved me with your words, John Crichton. You tore me from the only life I ever knew; thrust me into a whole new world, of wonder, freedom, light. You told me I could be more and I have become that – more – because of you. I lost all that was familiar to me but none of that mattered because you took that place, you became my familiarity. You were MY one constant.

But yet again I lost everything familiar. This time voluntarily, I fled. But my judgement was clouded. Because the very instant I left my place beside your module I felt regret, something I hoped to never feel again. You make me feel a fool, John Crichton. I have no constant, no familiar place. Lost. Yet still I feel you in every simplistic thing, every action – your eyes, your smile, your humour, your caring nature, your arms around me when I needed a rock to hold on to in the storm.

Your spirit flows around me, enveloping me. But I can't see you. And it hurts.

***

From all that was familiar,

I broke away

Now I am lost, without a place,

Wandering.

With no music like a fool I dance

And clap my hands.

How am I to live without You?

You are everywhere but

I cannot see You.
