Just as you're about to exit the building you see someone you may have known in a different life when you were a different person. You should say hi to them. For old time's sake. You're busy have somewhere to go need to rush it was nice catching up maybe exchange numbers and then be on your way. On the other hand. Oh it's getting late. Maybe they've changed. You might end up spending a long time with them getting drinks and who knows dinner maybe even and then desserts because you're drunk and then who knows what might happen. You could fall in love. Again.
Blood rushes into your ears banging like a tribal drumbeat throbbing ebbingebbing throbbing beating beating your head hurts. No not this time. Not again. You look the other way and exit through the revolving door. They've shut it down you look back at the paper notice you didn't see. Staring at the floor you rush towards the other door. Are you even breathing? Need to start breathing need to start breathing, and then a long breath. Relief.
Oh hi! Wow, what are you doing here, hiii! It's been so long!
Heart drops. Insides churn. A thousand supernovae explode inside you.
Hiii! You don't care if you seem too eager don't realize you're running your arms outstretched panting panting running now crashing into them. And then. Embrace. How does this feel so good how does this feel so warm how does this feel so...big so encompassing so comforting. Is that your heartbeat or is that theirs? Something feels wrong.
You can't let go it's as if you're magnetically attached to them the hug's not to tight not to comfortable your cheeks touch each other your hug more of a loving embrace hands tightly around the other's back from shoulder blades to right abve the tailbone hands so many hands massaging comforting on you you can feel their warmed the warmed of their hands warmed of their body warmed are they glowing are they sick it's okay everything's okay everything's forgiven it's fine. Lightness. You're flying. You can't keep your legs on the floor anymore.
Deep breath. Deep breath. Arms disentangled and eyes locked.
I'm...well...well..haven't gotten sick yet and definitely not dead so doing great all things considered really well. Yeah yeah and you?
Stupid stupid stupid. No content. What was that about definitely not dead.
I'm well too, I'm living with my parents now helping my siblings out it's a bit cramped at my folks place but honestly the most fun we've had in a long long while.
Angel. Of course.
