The drive was long and weary. I had not slept in days,
only flickers between weariness and wide awake. I wanted to go away though; the
weight of the concrete jungle bearing down on me was becoming claustrophobic. I
drove through country towns, rainforests, and fields of abandonment, finally
reaching you.
Lost in thought I strolled next to you. I took photos,
memories, and moments to treasure. I sometimes find it easier to take an image
and remember the moment through the photograph. My mind is so cloudy I find it
hard to see the truth sometimes.
I smiled. I know you want to see me smile, so I do.
My body in nothing but undergarments, I danced. Neither with style, nor rhythm
but I didn’t care. I danced with reckless abandonment and you danced along with
me. I felt happy. I felt me. I smiled
and it was real.
I walked with you by the seaside and I was happy.
