[bodytext] => I feel it in the days I struggle to fill like empty glasses. I feel it in the past I keep revising in my own mind to make myself feel better. It is behind every half formed joke. It is behind every awkward conversation. I feel it in the eyes of strangers passing me on the street. I feel it in the memory of our last kiss. It is behind every wistfull smile. It is behind every hopeful glance. I feel it in the disappointment of silence. I feel it in the disjointed holidays that advertise joy. It is behind every forced laugh. It is behind every bitter word. I feel it in the times I sold my soul for an embrace. I feel it in the tears I fought, and still fight. It is behind every unspoken word. It is behind every overzealous declaration of happiness. It is loneliness.
