2.1.21 // saying goodbye

When you say goodbye to someone you love everything else melts away.
.
The fears you’ve held, the annoyances and disgruntled moments you’ve felt, the world slips away.
.
It might not be long, but it’s one of the most beautiful moments.
.
It is one of the rawest moments, I’m convinced, that humans can have.
.
Because in between those moments of fear and sadness is love in its most true form.
.
A love that isn’t complicated by expectations of who you are or who I am, a love that isn’t riddled with the complications of failure or mistakes, and a love that isn’t anything but your heart.
.
A heart so pure it’s like the golden sun on a crisp mountain morning dancing through the gaps in the trees.
.
A heart so kind it’s like the last bite of an Italian pastry that melts in your mouth with the sweetness of perfection.
.
A heart so fearless it’s like the thin air of the high mountains, steadfast and clear.
.
When the world slips from your peripherals and the ability to form words slips from your mind, you are just two perfect souls, surrounding each other in the most unfiltered way.
