“The Beginning
Meet me back at the beginning.
Where the stars lined up and parted the skies, drawing a line from me to you.
Meet me in the space.
Where we reached inside the darkness, touched hearts, and found each other.
Meet me under the trees.
Where we lay, spending countless hours retelling our pasts in grand detail.
Meet me under the arch.
Where we professed our love and promised for better or for worse.
Meet me at worse.
Where we chose to ignore the promises and the trees as we navigated the dark void of stars.”
