How I miss the
3:00AM wake ups,
battling a lucid
dream state
as it lingered,
trying its best
to pull us back in.
I miss those
awkward first
few moments
of the Uber ride,
how the jet fuel stung
as we breathed it in,
and the frantic rush
to get to our gate.
I miss who we were
as we walked down
unknown ancient streets
discovering tastes,
smells, and sights
that we never
before knew existed.
I miss the world
we once knew and
all the ways it
forever changed us.
For now we sit,
helplessly caged,
basking in our
wealth of memories,
waiting for someone
to bring us the key.
