: morning fog on a sunny day :

memories and feelings
long cherished
fading away like tendrils of smoke
your headlights cutting through and burning
precipitation unrequited
precipitating something unrequired
unsearched for
unusually invigorating
i hold back, but not forever

KAOS breakfast conversations
hammering out details and positions
a blink, a smile, a glance over sunglasses
a flash of green pins breath in chest
and blood in veins
tentative plans for the future
and if they're broken, that's ok
a smile, a kiss
a bike ride home
i realize that i didn't look over my shoulder
to see if she was around
for the first time in months
