There's no one here anymore. The space quiet, stagnant air numb. I sit alone. Look to the skies, the stars. Try and hold on to an idea. Thoughts falling. In slow motion. #sffiction

Blossom on the tree again. Another year comes round. Never too long to hurt, too distant to cry. You're always there. In each breath, each ache, each memory. I long to fill my lungs with spring, with a warm day. To walk on with a smile. To just walk by.
