or are they so stubborn

I walked along the cobblestone,
my feet light with each step.
It was an unfamiliar feeling,
a change of pace from the
heavy footsteps I once kept.
Oh, these foreign towns,
turning me into the weight of a feather,

in the most natural of ways,
like the colors of the sunsets
and your smile on a bad day.

exploring each curve to its depths,
traveling to all the same places

breathing her in like he'd

The cracks in the ceiling
stared back at me,
as if even they had their
**** more straightened
out than I do.
