Idle time

-Inspired by conversations with friends and recent events-

***
Someday, travelling by myself will be a thing of the past
No more solo plane flights, no more adventure trips alone
There'll be someone to see the world and get lost in unfamiliar cities with
Someday, one day, I'm sure there'll be you.

***

Used maps
Captures moments
Off-road tracks
Worn out sneakers

Changing timezones
Airplanes and trains
Unfamiliar cities
Countless memories

Solo flights
Dinners for one
Travelling alone
But for how long?

"What for you is love?"

"Love is giving more and taking less.
Your turn. Love is?"

"Simple - love is you. Just you. Always you."

She changed, she learned to adapt
Heart recoiled, now all locked up inside
Feelings kept in check, her actions restrained
She won't fall first, 'never again' she said.

***

You should come with a warning sign
Beware: this guy will make you fall hard
And fall is what I'll inevitably do
But please catch me, will you?

***

I don't need to see you or hear your voice to know that you are near.
The butterflies in my stomach have their own way of telling me.
They instantly wake up from slumber
And do this crazy dance together.

***

There's always that promise of tomorrow
Full of hope and new beginnings
An assurance that the story doesn't end today
And that a new chapter will unfold in time.

***

I hold on to photos of you
Memories that I'll forever treasure
Through photos I get to keep you
In photos, you won't ever leave.

***

Slow, slow down time
Freeze the minutes, pause the seconds
I want this moment to last
Don't go by so fast.
