A few hours later, I’m waving goodbye to Christina as she throws a backward glance my way before disappearing down the hall. I can still taste her on my tongue, the scent of her skin clinging to mine.

I pull the door to my apartment closed and sigh. If there was ever a time to tell her it would have been now, when I had her here with me, somewhere I felt safe enough to explain. She’s handing me the keys to get deeper and deeper inside of who she is, and I’m still locking her out.

I turn to the tiny closet door in my entryway, the one I don’t have enough stuff to fill. This apartment could win an award for the amount of built in storage space it has. Before everything that happened with Tiff, I just kept this closet empty.

My walls used to be filled with photos of her. She said it made me seem like a creepy fanboy, but I didn’t give a shit. I still have some of my other work on display, but all of my best shots were of her. I wanted to show them off. I wanted to show her off.

The day I got the phone call, I smashed every frame that had her picture in it. It took me weeks to clean up all the glass; I still have scars on my feet from getting cut on the pieces I missed. I locked my camera away for months, but I couldn’t get rid of the photos. Now they line the walls of the empty closet. When missing her gets to be too much, I open the door and just stare.

Sometimes I think of this closet like a haven, and other times it’s as suffocating as a coffin, as heavy as an iron safe slung around my neck. It’s a weakness, an illness I’ve been fighting to hide. I hole up on my own and turn away from anyone who tries to see what’s wrong, because what else do you do with a sickness you can’t heal?
