If I come back to you now, can we be what we were before life’s uncertain rhythms tore us so far apart?

How can I explain purposely setting foot on a path so blatantly treacherous? Was the fun in the fall?

I hate this feeling. Like I'm here, but I'm not. Like someone cares. But they don't. Like I belong somewhere else, anywhere but here, and escape lies just past that snowy window, cool and crisp as the February air.
