“It is not absence instead of presence, but a trace which replaces a presence which has never been present, an origin by means of which nothing has begun.”
Jacques Derrida
—
You’d think every story has to be written or told to be known
but some of them are not.
If our story were a book it’d be a Shakespearean novel
because I only found you so I could lose you
[ . . . ] it’s the trace of your oblivion
and all of this became an attempt to make you remember
something that never happened
that never started.
Our unwritten love can only be described as an ellipsis.
