The sun shined like a bare-burning flame.
I sometimes had to squint my eyes so i could see.
causing everything around me to fog over.
But still. I had a feeling of complete clarity.
so i guess anything short of complete didn't really enter my concern.
Almost as i was walking on air, I stepped into your line of vision. Walking over to you on your spot on the sand, opening my heart.
A door that I'd hoped would open only for you.
You would dance on clouds, tiptoeing around my delicate heart.
I would sit still.
Allowing you to get comfortable in a corner of my life.
As i had dreamed you fit perfectly.
Filling my mind with a constant reassurance
that the sun would never set on us.
like any flame deprived of oxygen, it disappeared.
and unlike i would have thought, i couldn't see you anymore.
Sitting on the sand, silently watching the waves break.
The door closed so quietly it amounted to nothing but a snap of air.
That was the strangeness of it.
How a small sound like that could shatter my world.
