A NOTE TO THE ONLY PERSON THAT KNOWS

An abandoned, smaller liner airport

encased with graffiti of lost dreams

it separates us from the rest of the world

high grass and open fields of unknown species

flowers gripping our minds

dropped in hallucinations

we ran as far from reality as our minds can take us

                                                                                            I miss where we would go.
