you're just as beautiful as i remember. you stood there, rose cheeks, towering over me, light, you, you, you. you and you again. you held my hands and i felt warm, falling into your palms then your open chest.
we drove to the sea and i looked at you the whole ride there. barely talking, i knew that you were still home. the sea this time was unfamiliar and you were my sea this time, you became my home. it's like you always were.
you held me tight and i begged myself to not wake up. i can't describe the cold and ache in my heart when my eyes opened and they were locked into yours.
