I run headstrong into my own fears, as does she. Upon impact we collapse into each other.

I melt into her warm embrace, absorbing her whole being.

Afraid & vulnerable, I weep.

The time has finally come, the pinnacle of my existence.

I gaze longingly at her, she’s right here yet she’s so far away.

Something rips her away with force.

I reach my arms out in vain to reclaim her.

A split second of tranquility.

Pulled away before I could revel in it.

I stare vacantly at my empty hands. I weep again.
