Bring Me Back

by B.A. Paris

It’s more proof that Ellen never goes against what I tell her, never disobeys me, and although it makes for a peaceful life, I find it perplexing.

But then she spoiled everything.

For a man who lives in the present, I can still picture every minute of the day you moved out.

I force myself away from the past and back to the present.

Because I know we’re not going to find her.

It felt so right looking after you; for the first time in weeks I felt I had a purpose.
