the air gets thin

all it takes is 10,000 feet to change your perspective. above the clouds and away from the gravity that so patiently holds you down while it waits for you to move. you really can feel just how tiny you are. 

it's not a smooth flight. the winds are strong and we're flying into a snow storm so you can imagine how I might be feeling at the moment. it's times like these that I start to reflect on my life and everything that's important to me. 

what's not normal today however is my reaction to such turbulence. one might assume that I'm in a state of anxiety or panic. which on any other flight you'd be correct. not today though...today I am calm and collected. 

insert verse here-

                   for all the days we wasted trying to find peace with each other. there are hours in which we forgot our love. and even though I made my bed and slept in it a thousand times. it still feels empty and unused. and for everything that brought us here and the few and far betweens...I can only guess it's just a dream and I hope we'll wake up soon...
