I wore my sunnies today to hide my glassy eyes. I didn't wanna show her that I started to cry. But I knew that she had done the same. Every summer day that passes, the closer it gets to that day where we will all separate. We had the best and most unpredictable walk in the wee hours of the morning. It was needed and highly anticipated. We needed a release since that is what unwinds us.. We city roam. Randomly of course, we walked through the dark trees and wandered mindfully through the shadows and spotlights given by the glaring streetlights. The infrequent breeze we would feel from the speeding cars down the road frightened us but we never once felt afraid to be out at that hour. We laughed and I heard the echoes.. We tripped and walked into spiderwebs but couldn't help but laugh at each other. It was fulfilling actually. The hourglass is moving at a pace that is discomforting. Nevertheless, we will travel and gain new heights, new knowledge and gain new troubles, too. The only thing that reassures me is that when all the sand has slipped through time, I will be able to flip the hourglass over again, and we'll hang out as if we never missed a beat. I know that I will miss them terribly, I sorta already do. But the time apart will be fine. It'll actually be good for us, right? We are all at these crossroads in our lives and have decisions to make however hard, or painful they may be. I know we'd rather ignore them until the very last minute but in order to keep going, we've got to leap as my mom likes to say. I guess I am being a little vamba, okay a lot vamba but it's hard to have my sanity be separated across the country! Geez, gimme a break. Ick. The coffee's never strong enough.
One day, I believe the universe will give me the answers to all the unspoken questions I have roaming my head.. It may not ever be logical, but I know that they will serve its purpose. Last year, we discovered the balance, this year, the silver lining.. What'll next year be like?
Je t'aime mes soeurs.
