Waiting In Line...

The sky seems so close when you lay down and gaze at it, but you still can't think of where it ends.

You close your eyes and listen to the birds inviting their friends over for dinner, others call back from a distance, you wonder what they're saying.

Life is framed by tragedy but there is so much happiness hidden in simple things.

"I love you tonight" Ten years ago you said those words and you still loved her now.

The pages were frayed at the edges and the paper had turned yellow but your pen still married it perfectly. Something about this calmed you, it always had. You always wrote when you were waiting for her. 

The winter invited itself into your room without a conversation, kissing you gently on the arm. It was as if it knew and was trying to comfort you in anticipation for what you would learn later on. Preparing you for the chill you would feel for the rest of your life.
