Tonight, I walked through a golden field while the sun was slowly disappearing behind the far away horizon. Behold dozens of birds and bugs flying over the field shining like stars in the sun's golden light. The thought of February crept in my mind; the very thought of you and I (what could have been us). Pulled one memory at a time from the depths of my ribcage and let them sail away to the descending sun. And finally, I pulled February out of my ribcage and laid it on the golden field, leaving it behind without looking back.
After all, I longed for the silence we shared more than I ever longed for you.
This is just stunning: the surroundings you paint, the emotions you conjure. I really love this!
ReplyDeleteThat last bit is incredibly perfect. I've longed for becoming more than laughter, more than anything; and I understand, I do, I do. x
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Melee and Julia! You are golden. x

ReplyDeleteMy heart really aches when I read this. I do too, longing for the silence to share with someone, a feeling that can't be described with words.
What a beautiful soul you have, Jessica. Thank you for being, really.
You have no idea how much your words mean to me, I can't describe it. Thank you Ke, thank you so much.
