Perhaps an inch closer is all we need. Let’s be two renegades running away from a world of reason— forget chasing the secrets tomorrows hold and live the now. We need not let our minds speak for silence speaks louder under the moonlit sky. Let’s meet halfway where silhouettes dance around a bonfire. And if this world deems ours is but a dream then let’s dream harder tonight. Let the colors burst from our eyes brighter than neon lights. So, baby, how about you take your first step and I’ll take mine?

I haven’t seen one of your posts in a minute. Maybe it’s my bad timing, but I’m glad to read your words again. 🙂

We should meet halfway in our relationships. One person doing all the work makes it boring and love a chore.
