a dream as a wanderlust

I want to travel the world. And braid my hair as I'm staring up at the immensity of the Eiffel Tower. And sigh at the beauty of the looming irish castles. And clasp hands with the one person who can make me happy with a glance. And sketch the fashion of Italy. And dip my fingertips in the waters of the Cayman. And strut my stuff down England's fine cobblestone streets. Wanderlust.

a dream in apathy

There's the apathy. The unwillingness to text, FB, message, call, and talk. Because there are so many people, always fresh gossip, old feelings. The guilt of feeling detached and uninterested. It's false. I am not. And how can these new friends like me? The inability to accept the friendships, the closeness. I'm simply exhausted. This is hard. So many of them, only one me.

a dream in a flash

In a flash life tells you what you really want. Who you truly want to see. What arms will embrace you as you race down the stairs and relax into the familiarity of someone who loves you. Whether it be friend, family, or boyfriend, we all have someone we miss. 

a dream becomes real

The stream of happiness that bubbles up from your toes to your nose. The feeling of being held, in the warmth and comfort of someone's arms. The mindless tracing across the palm of your hand. The soft laughter encompassing the small space between them. Holding on to the neck of another who makes you feel this way.

a dream of the previously unknown

An open book. A blank canvas. An unwritten song. Possibilities. Possibilities of wondrous things, of mistakes. A walk in the woods on a cold autumn day. Can lead you to the previously unknown. The unknown becomes the known and now you know.

a dream of informality

Staring at empty words, full of promise. We as humans are broken down to words typed by the skin of our fingers. No longer can you hear the comfort of a voice and enjoy the embrace of friend. We are debased to the false solace of a mere arrangement of letters on a faintly lit screen.

a dream of happiness

This is happiness. Staring out at tree lined streets from a window of opportunity. Lights glittering in the shop and on the full leaved trees, paving the way for a successful future.The feeling of ownership, content, and independence are found in this moment of paid exhaltment.
