For a moment I found it.
That feeling, the one I’ve been searching for my entire life. The one that made all the bad days worth it… I knew it was too good to be true. I knew it was fleeting- that in the morning I’d wake up and the glow of your eyes and curve of your check against mine would be just a tipsy memory. But in that moment your words made me high with interest, your laughter sparked mine like wild fire, and your sideways glances towards me in the passenger seat made my chest warm. You reminded my heart how to beat in my chest and I gasped in surprise. It had been a such long time since I felt alive.
