Dark and light

I always knew how high the stakes were. Instead of being liberated by it, I found myself being nervous and polite and obsessing over every tiny detail. Walking down empty boulevards, crowded beaches, made me feel like our every step was a little momentous.

Walking into a crowded restaurant where no one speaks our language, we felt at home in another world, one with a different time zone, passionate loyalties over whatever is important. A life of spontaneity and small thrills - to be invited in one, when one knows that there is no one else we'd rather take along on those adventures.

Alot of life, and love is discovered in post-midnight passages. It is where we leave ourselves far enough behind to fully find another.
