went to that volleyball away game my senior year of high school?

Years later I realize that was a tipping point, as was walking into the Terry Courts computer lab in 1991.  Let's get hypothetical for a minute, nephew.

What's your favorite Thanksgiving dish?
Submitted by Brennan.

I'm partial to tamales, but cranberry sauce has definitely made a resurgence of late.  Also, way to assume I actually eat Thanksgiving dinner, pal.

(I'm all alone again.)

I walked into the room--imagine my surprise!
You were sitting close to him staring in each other's eyes.

Each of you looked up but no one said a word.
I felt I should apologise for what I hadn't heard.

A silence filled the room, awkward as an elephant.
In the crowded court of your love, I was now a supplicant.

And clumsy as I felt at stumbling on this theft, to save further embarrassment I made my excuses ... and left.

So long ago, I felt like such a fool for crying.
All that I know is when you feel inside you're dying, it all begins again--defying your excuses.
