i am happy, i am free

By amimi

the cold, wet drops slip down my face like day-old tears.
they drench my body and clothes with the feeling of freedom. 
i am happy.
i am free.
this moment is perfect.
i splash my feet around in the puddles surrounding my ankles.
my mouth opens, 
allowing the gentle drops to touch my tongue.
i start to laugh.
i am happy.
in this moment,
i have not a care in the world.
i am free.
my dripping hair is plastered to my face as i twirl around,
swinging my arms.
as i glance up,
i am greeted by the moon.
a beautiful, luminescent light surrounded by an ethereal glow. 
my eyes light up as a smile grows on my face.
i am happy.
and i am free.

    my sister is the most beautiful person i have ever laid eyes on

    inside and out, 

    she is impeccable.

    she is the most generous, selfless, kind woman i have ever met

    whether she's 10 minutes or 10 hours away,
