I went out tonight. I walked down the street and sat on the curb once I couldn't see the house anymore. I just sat and looked up at the sky. I watched a few planes fly up there and I listened to the bullfrogs. I felt so alone. I began to sing. It took me a minute for me to realize I was singing Intertwined. It took me a little but longer for me to realize I was cracking all the notes and tears were going down my face. When I realized how much the words were affecting me I began to cry harder. Oliver walked up to me and drooled all over my pants before he sat in front of me and let me hug him. He sat there for a minute or two before he ran home. I ran as well. I focused on my footfalls and matched them to the song. I ran past the house. I ran until my lungs burned and my legs wobbled. I ran until I saw spots and I thought I would collapse. Then I ran faster.
