the sound of settling

by Rachel Lynch


I want to take a long trip, without it being running away. I'm happy in the state I'm in, a romantic with no one new to love, just friendships to nourish. 

When your lover leaves you for someone with more success, you cling to the very simple things that make you feel alive. A deep breath that fills you entire body, the sound of your heart beating in your chest. The moments that make you feel like you know what it's like to be alive, after living for someone else for so long. 

He says he loves you, so you drop everything else. 

Where is my mind, still in some love affair? Still a part of you?
