Like Flying

Sometimes you'll have a moment in your life, sometimes many of them, where you take a huge breath in and out, and something changes. And in that breath, you find your footing. You become completely content in every single inch of your existence. You feel like you're soaring even though your feet are planted firmly on the ground. Sometimes you find this moment in a song, in the sound of someone else's voice or the music humming sweetly into your ears. Sometimes you find it in the sky, or the moon, or the couple in love sitting opposite you on the train. And sometimes you find these moments in someone else.  No matter where you find them though, take the time to soak them up. Live in those moments for as long as you possibly can. Fly. Take everything the world is giving you in these precious minutes and hug the air surrounding them. I had these moments with you. Because of you. And your laugh. Because of the way your eyes snuck into my soul and understood every detail that created my being. It's hard when you find those moments in someone else, because it makes it so much harder when they are gone. But rather than dwell on what you lose in life, it's so important to remember the moments you actually had. Remember them, put them in a special box and smile in their memory. Then take a breath. In and out... and let yourself be overcome by a new moment. Let yourself fly again. And again, and again.
