My muscles tense, pulling tighter and tighter with every breath. All I can do is think of you and the nights we used to share. Eyes glazing over with every tear, fists cleanching in pain and in fear. Remembering that summer where we opened all of the windows in the house and hung out. Living on the edge, tasting freedom in the wind; we were happier than we had ever been. The long car rides leading to no where and when we finally ran out of gas, the adventures began.
I can still feel your cold hands on my cheek now, reading my jaw line like the novel you couldn't put down. You staring at me, and me staring at you. Falling into your eyes, reaching out for a life preserver that never came. Running your fingers through my hair, pulling me closer to you.
My world, I gravitated towards you. Revolving, and revolving we stayed in constant motion. An unending orbit that I never planned to escape. Everything we did, we did for each other and nothing could have changed that fact.
