Rooftop
June 14, 2016
A lonely rooftop
Yet I am surrounded,
I am surrounded by silence
and the night sky.
A galaxy far away
I know
But on this night
It hovers over me like
a blanket made out of
silk.
Covering me and drowning
me with it's inescapable
comfort.
And it is in that moment, I notice:
I am not alone.
The universe has become
my blanket
I glance at my phone that now reads
3 am
and I am aware: my blanket
won't last much longer
But, just then,
a wave of nostalgia and satisfaction
washes over me,
and nothing else matters.
I am happy.

This poem represents the making of a great memory and how you never want it to end, but at the same time, you are aware that it is going to, and the fact that you are aware of that pushes you to savor it and make it more memorable. The feeling of euphoria is present and everything seems right with the world. Whatever you had been holding onto for too long melts away, and at the same time, a piece of you that needed to be fixed, works its way to the surface.
