Sometimes, I just want to go for drive, get an ice cream and sit on a pier. I just want to listen to the waves that break beneath my feet and inhale the salty breeze that comes in from a distance an ocean away.
Do you ever feel the pressure? of everything? I feel it every moment of every day and for everyone.
Don't you ever just want to go somewhere where you don't have to think of the things you have to do, your responsibilities, or the consequences of every choice you make? Don't you ever just want to forget about your commitments? There are days- quite often, might I add- that that is what I want to do, that is what I want to feel.
Don't you ever just want to run away? I get that feeling a lot, maybe more than I should be.
That's probably why I want to talk to you so much and so often. That's probably why I stay up late to wait for that time that you might be free, to wait for the time that you might want to talk to me too.
That's probably why I find myself checking every minute to see if you replied to my text. That's probably why my heart drops in my chest when I see that you have. That's probably why I hate myself every time you don't reply because I think I've done something wrong, that I've lost the only thing that reminded me of that dream, the one with the smell of the ocean and the sound of the waves.
You're the only thing I have that's different.
You're the only thing I have that won't remind me of everything I have to worry about here.
Sometimes, I just want to run away, and you're the closest thing I have to that.
