Again, I stand at crossroads.
Behind me- cherished moments- some won, most stolen. Oh how they dazzle- those guileless faces, eternally happy! Composure- lost and regained, time and again, slips away yet again. Serendipity- so undeserved yet so relished, insecurely I cling on.
Now- Familiar fears, of impending loss. Dreams and Demons- crisscross, unwelcome. A tempting unknown beckons. Anticipation- lick my lips; Anxiety- bite those lips.
Tomorrow-
Faces, to replace
Rituals, to reconfigure
Affections, to redirect
...the enormity of it bears down on me- at once promising, and threatening, and suffocating.
Gotta move! Gotta run!
