"I'd swim across Lake Michigan. I'd sell my shoes. I'd give my body to be back again, in the rest of the room. To be alone with you..."
I almost forgot what it felt like; cool breezes, crisp, clear nights and long walks home. Yes, a hint of fall is definitely in the air. I can't help but be slightly nostalgic, because I feel that this fall marks the end of more than just a summer. This house, these people, this life; I don't think any of these things were ever meant for me, but I love them all for what they are. My memory is forever blessed, but the lack of permanance has me running. I imagine myself twenty years older, looking back on this time in my life and smiling, slightly, but knowing that I made the right choice in the end. Because for me, every fall brings a question and this year I'm going to take the risk of a lifetime and fall into something new, but warmingly familiar.
I imagine a bed where I can sleep easy, arms that I can call home and a world of new, brilliant people.
I imagine hot coffee on cool fall evenings, candle-lit dinners, walks in the park and tears, but only of happiness.
I imagine twenty years later, your eyes on mine, knowing that we did it all, together.
I flash back to here and now and then and with soft music playing in my mind, I'd throw my scarf around my neck, breathe in the night and look forward to tomorrow. How things change...
My life is a really bad movie, but it has an awesome soundtrack and all the right camera shots. I'm not scared.
