Serene.

I find it so peculiar the way that the most trivial and surprising people can change your life entirely when you least expect it. On Saturday night I found myself lying on the couch folded up under a blanket next to a new friend that had come and rescued myself and my friend in our stranded states. Maybe it was the silent vows that were exchanged that night while your arms wrapped me like ribbon or maybe it was the way that the moonlight shone on your face at 3 in the morning. I wasn't aware that I was searching for someone that would let me know that things were going to be okay, nor did I expect to discover it that night. But right in that moment, in that pitch black noise, whispers rose from your chest promising me things that we don't have words for yet, promising hope. I don't need perfect and I don't need promises made on days that may never come, I just need something that fits all my gaps, something that overrides this vastness in my head. Even if nothing ever comes of this, you gave me all sorts of hope, and that's more than I ever would've dared asked for.
