reflections.

i look smaller.
i feel smaller.
my clothes are more comfortable.

but when i look in the mirror i still see flaws.
it would be nice if i just had smooth skin and even bits.
i'm certain one of my legs is 1/4 of an inch shorter than the other.
my hips reflect that, and i'm not a great fan.

i doubt that any amount of getting in shape will change that much.
too bad.

i still remember everything he said to me so long ago.
you would think it would go away, but it doesn't.
it echoes in my mind and lingers there for a while.
after over 10 years, i don't want to hear your voice anymore.
