being pulled in every direction. pushing back but getting nowhere. the thought of you comes softly now. like an old friend, a lover that i never loved. one kiss spanning across five years. melting down and taking residence in every part of me. who i was when i let go, in that moment - i am not her. i am not wild like her. i do not let the winds command my heart. instead, i am me. waiting, watching. "how we get older, how we forget about each other." only i can't.
