We languished beneath the stars. We lavished ourselves in the dewy jewels that the sky cried upon us. We watched our glories cascade and fall about our joyful heads, felt all we had once known come to a crashing, burning, exhausted halt. Nothing could simply exist anymore; only that which had obtained a purpose in this life could truly be. We danced and we cried and we would sweat out all we had obtained. We gave up our hopes and dreams and found new ones. We let our love for everything float away down the river; our love for each other, for others, for small meaningless trinkets and hobbies and life in general. We smiled and cried as it slowly drifted along the currents, and we kissed and it meant nothing. Slowly, we moved again, but not in any direction. We moved toward merely existing in our numb, small little world that we created in our minds and apartments. Our eyes glistened and shone, not with beauty but with desperation to feel something, anything, to let us know we were still alive.
I miss Kile. I miss Brent. Suddenly my life is glaringly normal, and I don't know what to do with it.
Dallas tonight with Heidi, so she can get her tattoo. I am excited. She is the coolest old lady I have ever met.
