When we take walks and wander around, aimlessly, I'm struck by how the world is a dream. The words in my mind slip into my cotton mouth and I watch your lips move and your silver smile respond knowingly, as if our thoughts are dancing through our words. I know it's just a dream and I'm caught in the space in between the cells of our bodies and the atoms in the atmosphere, but I can't help but pull you into my head and set you free. The taste of the damp air surrounds us and I embrace it.
I never meant to be so nice to you, to be so secure. There is confidence around me like the calm at the center of sadness. There are familiar clouds in my eyes and falling in love with you is the strangest pain I've ever known.
I am no longer me, and you are no longer you. Surely now this is a dream. This comfort and subtle self-destruction have lasted far too long. I am beyond it all, far from the tiny world of the past and yet connected to everything I've ever known. You are all I will ever know, and we've never met. We've never met again. We've never been in the right place at the right time. Make me forget wakefulness until we come down from this impossible place. To love fully and openly, with all that I have, I place this wonderful burden into the curve of the back of your palm. I give you every place I've called home. I wait for your dreams to end.

This brought up a lot of memories for some reason. I miss our walks and finding hidden places. Not just in the world but in ourselves. No matter what anyone says or thinks you will always be a a part of me. You have a room in my heart and it has a lovely view.
