That day.

That day when we held onto each other’s hands and didn’t let go. We traversed through daylight, and to city lights. Our laughter echoed in hallways and sidewalks. It bounced off rows of spruce. Pebbles sprung to life as our footsteps paced through ancient streets.

We brought each other to life. We brought that day to life.

When you drifted into your deep slumber, I sat beside you, staring into the deepest blue, as if I can reach beyond the Milky Way, as if we can reach beyond infinity.

That day, that night, imprinted into my mind. I can never let go. I can never let you go.

Funny how emotions makes us believe in the impossible. Funny, how it makes time feel like eternity.

Yet, everything is impermanent.

Just like our short lived love.
