dreams receded
a dust of dark, birds
from stalks
in the north field
rises

Choose your happiness over history. Choose true love over contentment. Choose yourself and what’s best for you.

I fell for his soul and he fell for mine, but the timing was wrong. Fast forward 20 years and he returned, he missed me and I missed him. We will get it right this time♥️
