Lost and Found At the Circus

LOST AND FOUND AT THE CIRCUS i apologize for forgetting you. this is not the way it is supposed to be. but something happened and i see you, but i don’t know who you are. i wish i had had time to apologize before i left, but i did not know i was going. i did not know things were changing right in front of me, us. you smiled, told me you apologized for not being able to stop the disappearing act i was performing. you held me, told me it was like watching a circus act while eating cotton candy. you laughed and touched my face, reminded me this is the way it is supposed to be. later, you bought peanuts and we licked our fingers as we watched a ballerina dance on the high wire. we laughed and waited for her to fall. she never did.
