Sanctuary

The end of July last year, we were drive to a hill that afternoon. Tried to catch sunset although in the end we failed because of evil cloud you said. It’s fine because it was fun.

After failed catch the sunset, we go to our favorite place. Based on the news we read yesterday, tonight would be a very rare phenomenon, a blue moon. Even though that afternoon the weather was not so good to catch sunset, but the night is pretty quite bright although a bit cloudy.

The moon was so full that night, I wished I bring my binocular so I could see it more clearly but luckily we brought a proper camera. I lay down on the bench, leaned my head on your legs. You sat on a chair while taking photos of the moon. Peacefull. Only the sound of a cat who tried to climb the table and some of nocturnal animals.

I was praying for that moment to never end. Times we were swallowed up in a quiet starry place a million miles away. Where my thoughts and my anxiety disappeared, where I didn’t feel burned, where darkness had no place, where I just felt safe.

But I know, it’s just going to go away and I know it’s not going to be like this later. It’s gonna be hard again. Because I knew you had to leave between the clouds, maybe you would be back in a day; a week; a month, or maybe never.
