in the year i've been gone i learned a lot about love, and honeymoon phases. it comes in waves, almost immediate and crashing down onto you, submerging your being in it's path. its so powerful, powerful enough to make you blind to everything around you, turning your head at the slightest grey cloud hovering in the sky. but when its over, when the storm comes, the only way to be truly happy is to escape. i thought i loved you. i convinced myself so. and if you're reading this, the good times outweighed the bad, your bright blue ocean waves captivated me and i turned the storm into a tidal wave of beautiful memories. now the only wetness i find is the tears in my eyes when i think about the calm before the storm.
