I remember thinking it might go on forever, only the two of us, in a wide, open field. You were radiant there, caught in the sunlight. You leapt and spun, laughing. It felt like the meadow, all of it folding inward, was just there for out happiness. We laid on the grass side by side, watching the clouds drift past, those pale beings that took the forms of our wishes. For a moment, I wondered if I had been here before, if this was something my mind had seen. The sun fell below, stars began to appear, and the moon rose. I thought maybe this was meant for me. Maybe your smile, the sound of you laughing, belonged to me too. Maybe this moment had been waiting.
