Sometimes I close my eyes and see the faces of people I will never meet. Of the children I will never birth. Of the men I will never fall in love with, make love with, or marry.
Sometimes I close my mouth and feel the push of the words I will never say. Of the obscenities never screeched. Of the whispers never uttered.
And even then, there is nothing.
No teardrop nor smile at the loss of these faces and words. No contemplation. No care.
And the beauty of this is the fact that we, as humans, feel something over everything else that is lost. Friendships, money, possessions, pets.

I have oft wondered if there is a reason we do not feel sad or happy at the thoughts and images we have lost.
Is it an evolutionary step in our becoming of a sentient species, or is it simply an illogical thing to feel such emotions?
Am I going crazy for wondering about such trivial matters?

Perhaps somewhere in this vast, eternal universe there is a species that DOES feel something over lost thoughts. Maybe that's all they feel sad about.

I may, in fact, be going insane.

Is me admitting that a counter-action of my own claim, or a cry for help?
The world may never know.
