It was like the world started laughing again for a moment
Not necessarily through me for the time being, so the humor showed up in hummingbirds and songs on the stereo my neighbor was playing and people going about their business
I found my way back by getting lost for a bit
The moon was full, so a thought said "this is lunacy"
I knew to an outside observer the sight would be nothing less
Going from giggling to frowning to staring off not so vacantly when there's no outside company can be concerning to people who don't understand
But it's how I keep my friends near when there's distance
I remember crying so hard I laughed
When I asked to be basked in the presence of my soulmate
The feeling was almost as strong as the memory of the first time I fell into love
Except it was more like softly dropping into something unapologetic and consuming in the best way imaginable
Now I'm trying to break down walls and build fences so I don't get hurt playing in uncharted territories
Sometimes things are more beautiful from a distance
Sometimes I just want to explore.
