...everything was right in the world again.
i liked to ride in on the coattails of her passion. i never much cared for the dreams of the wind. time was spent so blissful. i came up, in and out, like a whisper you almost forgot about.
desperation hanging in the air, panting
a few years passed...and i resurfaced again. in a new city, with some new friends.
but nothing could have prepared you for me walking back through that door. i know i took your breath away...'cause you could do nothing more than stare.
i've lost all the weight our relationship left on me. i got my shit figured out. i finally have a plan for the future of my life, i say, smiling.
you just run to me across the kitchen floor, jump in to my arms and say nothing more. but every word i need to see, is in your eyes. i scan the room for anything familiar, anything i left of, me, on you. at first glance, nothing comes to mind. i don't see any of the usual suspects, that t.v. we had in your room, the watch i loved for you to wear.
all those things we're gone...swept away with the breath of a new day...
...and i realize those things didnt matter much.
it was upon further scan of your new humble abode that i saw it, my meaning, was etched all across each room. it was in that picture frame i bought you in san francisco,my favorite book was sitting on the coffee table, my dessert tray hanging in the kitchen sink to dry.
all those things seemed so important as i scanned the room for you.
until i remembered i had the weight of you in my arms and the kiss of you on my neck.
...it was when i finally realized that i had you in my arms, could touch your hips, could smell your scent...
...that i knew everything was just as it was supposed to be, just as i had left it...
...everything was right in the world again.

and as we open the doors to a new tomorrow, i can't wait to see what the future brings.
