Dates, checked.
Company, checked.
Booking, checked.
And so began the excitement
with empty wallets and priceless smiles,
a presence we dreaded for
and memories we hoped to make.
The days became longer
and nights thoughtful,
dreaming of expectations and sensations
we would drowse in.
We knew of moments we would mimic
and places we needed to visit,
but it was never about the destination,
but the time we would be away
from a life ofnormalcy
to one where we could be exciting,
strangers in the eyes of those around
and in expectations that we’d
of ourselves.
Do you have a journey you could relive,
where everything went wrong
but you still made memories
that was no less than adventurous!
Because that’s how it feels when you’re having fun
and time is never enough
to contain everything we wish to reach.
For that is how the journey is,
a crave for a smell,
a nostalgia of the moment,
a passion for faces and dreams,
a reason to push and believe.
We adore that breathe
where we could forget everything
and reinvent all we could be.
For out there is where we live,
all that we need,
the Oxygen
for the traveller
within us.
