124)

lately, i have found
myself longing for
these places that
don't even exist
anymore... maybe
it's a defense
mechanism.

one minute i'm
here, and the next,

i'm tucked under
blankets on snowy
winter sundays, there
in your bedroom, our
tiny corner of the city;

there on the beach, one
of those summers...
masking in the sun and
enjoying the waves from
the other side of the lake.

i miss that simplicity,

but life goes on as it
always does and i
will move forward,

i will persevere

i will love like the
world is ending

tomorrow (is another
day).
