i will never tell you to stop because you deserve this dance beneath the stars, with the moon casting light on your slender figure and the waves lapping at your feet.
i will never tell you to wait because you are called to run further than i can ever imagine, to the well where the sun rests in gleaming pools and the water cascades into the rocky light.
and when you come back for me after five, ten, fifteen years, i'll be here waiting.
we will sit down for tea and you will ask me how i have been.
and i will say that i have never been better.
and you will do that smile again, and we will laugh and remember the old days and pretend that we could go back in time. but we can't, and we won't, and all we have now are memories of things long dead and buried.
we will visit our old graves and point to the fields where we lay in long ago with hands intertwined and heads tilted towards the sun.
we will do this, just you and me, and we will be happy.
then you will take off again into the unknown. too soon, too fast for me to say i loved, love, and will always love
you.

i hope you all enjoyed reading this as much as i enjoyed writing it!
have a beautiful weekend, everyone.

to credit the bloggers for the idea to this piece will take exceptionally long because everyone i've been reading has been so inspiring of late ♥♥ this is the result of reading all of y'all blogs and going "ugh, my heart" every.single.time. but i want to give an special mention to ADDY for her three little pigs post because that has been the main inspiration for this. ♥ (okay this is really ramble-y now, i'll stop *grins*).
