I touched his hand. Asleep, his fingers shook me away.

I wanted to say I have yet to forget.

I kissed his forehead filling the chills of unrequited love.

I wanted to say I'll never forget.

"Bye," I whispered and I floated away to sea.

Ryan's eyes fluttered open. Awaken suddenly by a sense of lost.
He shimmered out of his sheets and stood up raising his arms above his head. Biting his lip, he looked about the room.

Nothing was missing. Still like an exhibit.

He padded across the room and into the kitchen.

Nothing. Nothing.

Seth?

"Seth?" he whispered.

Silence.
