intertwined

(based on personal experience & lyrics from the song intertwined by dodie)

The quiet of the night finally settles in.

In the distance there’s the faint sound of a bull frog croaking by its pond.

And on the dimly lit wooden porch sat you and me swinging on the swing that would let out the smallest creak each times we swung back.

There was a comfortable silence between us, and we both sat down enjoying the peacefulness of this cool September night.

We kept not-so-secretly stealing glances of one another, until finally both our eyes met and you let the slightest smile form on your face.

“This is nice,” you spoke, your voice was soft and calm.

I hummed in response, and eventually one of us sparked a conversation.

We tell one another about our fears of the world, and the dangers of our own minds, but in this moment we felt safe.

We continued on like this, both of us freeing all of the aggression this shitty world caused to build inside of us.

For the first time in forever my genuine smile showed itself.

If only moments like this would never come to an end.
