I want to collapse into his arms and let his warm embrace surround my cold fragile body.
I want his kind and reassuring words to stick like bandages to the broken parts of my brain.
I want to lay my head on his chest and listen to his heartbeat and allow it to remind me that I am not alone.
I find it difficult to get rid of shirts that I wore when I was thirteen.
Since I know how much I used to love them.
I sense she would feel betrayed if she saw it
Time seems to move slower when it rains
Cars hesitate before they turn
Bird wings lag as raindrops batter their feathers
The world seems small and heavy
Every year the lines in her face deepen
Her lips turn slightly thinner
And her hands somehow grow softer
Yet her laugh remains the same
Her smile still as wide
