I feel a little odd posting this, because it's from a past romance and has little to do with my romantic present or future. Still I think it's a worthy expression of unrequited love.

I had forgotten to take the hammer I brought to work out of the carry-on bag I brought. They told me I had to check-in the bag, that I couldn't carry it on with the hammer there. The bag had my books though, so I decided to just get rid of the hammer.

That hammer was one that I had borrowed freshman year and that both borrowee and borrower had forgotten about, until finally it slipped into irrelevance. It slipped as easily out of my life as it had slipped in. It made me think that not too many things seem to do that. Especially you. You more than anything else in the world right now.
