Chapter Six

We would always belong to each other, for our marauding hearts had spent too long wandering the uncharted seas between forever and never, wreaking havoc, while pretending not to drown in everything that we had left unsaid. Intoxicated by promise and potential, we rode into turbulent waters, believing that we thrived on something but impulsive desires. Onward we sailed, with stars in our eyes and stubbornly set destinations, onward, and obliviously, past the point of no return, and straight into the jaws of the foggy future, where we now find ourselves trapped. Separated from you and lost between the haunting whispers of what we were and everything we could have been, sometimes I can't help but wonder. I wonder if we could have seen this coming, sometimes I wonder if we could have avoided it all together. Sometimes I wonder if we should have ever even set sail, but mostly, I worry, because I don't know if we'll ever really get out.
