Mar 2016
It felt like midnight
Running with the wind
Across the hills
Chasing the stars
Catching our breath
Listening to the crickets
Dancing in the river
..It felt like this

It felt like freedom
Beholding a recurring dream
Finally grasping what you've always longed for
Squinting your eyes in disbelief
Delicate tear drops of joy
The adrenaline of glory
..It felt like this

You felt like home
Like unlocking the front door of peace
The familiar and most relaxing feeling of laying your head down on your cool pillow
The safety of your life behind those walls
The carpet caressing your clean and damp bare feet
Fresh coffee brewing before you open your eyes
The morning sun through your window into your bedroom as an alarm
..You felt like this
And then I remembered you were leaving
We would no longer be running together
Chasing the fireflies and dancing under the stars..
We would no longer have what felt like a dream
The freedom to love would be gone.
And this would no longer be your home
My home would not lay within you anymore
And your arms would no longer be my comfort

We would just be us, the way we are without one another. Your life will go on and my heart will disconnect from you.
