The day before:

I'm going to Alola

It's kind of

spontaneous.

But I just can't concentrate.

Because without Ash, without him and his mocha eyes, what is the point to all this toil? I'm working hard but for what? He won't be waiting for me when I come out of the contest dressing rooms, he won't be there no matter how much I believe he will. I have to

go.

I'll be on a plane

tomorrow 4 am.

My mother's not going to be there

to cheer me on

but I'll be heading

towards the only

cheer I need.

Today:

I sit in the vinyl seats

for all the

many hours

but the blue sky is the only thing I notice.

I will pour my feelings

out like milk into coffee

if it makes the time

pass sooner.

We land and I am

on land,

looking at the land.

Wondering where I am

if I'm not with him.

Where am I?
