To the "duuuuuuuuuude" over there!

I watch them as they flit about.... their hands wave in articulation though the ones they speak to shall never see it. I smile as I am wished happiness and express my gratitude as best and honestly as I can. It has been nearly a week now. The fates have decided. And almost everyone around smiles when I daydream. They think I dream of him. How can I tell them that I do not? That my dreams are not fettered to a single person? That not every person who is in my position needs to think of it all the time? That... I have a life?

To that other soul out there who's probably going through the same... or not, I have just this to say,

"Duuuuuuuuuuude! I feel the pain, man!"
