In that moment.
where the space between us had ceased to exist
and our need to feed one another’s emptiness had become of
paramount importance,
I became overwhelmed by a sadness.

I was young and she even younger.
We each had too much time left and with that time came
the potential for changes,
and we undoubtedly would.

The variables of life would send our visions of the future into
a blurry, unrecognizable, fever dream.
We would lose ourselves to the thoughts of
who we should be
and who we were,

wishing for moments when we forgot there ever was a future.
