24 Hours.
Even in a time of such uncertainty between us, you showed up for me.
I didn’t even think you would come,
And there you were, standing there.
My eyes lit up with excitement when I saw your face.
Those butterflies in my stomach started to churn.
I wish you could have stayed longer.
I begged.
Normally you would give in,
But this time you did not.
We had spinach empanadas with a side of great laughter.
Sweet touches accompanied by an ocean view.
& remember how the waves of the beach almost took us out- ha!
Even without you being mine, we built another experience together.
1 day. 24 hours. 1,440 minutes. 86,400 seconds. With you.
And I am grateful.
That day I couldn’t understand why you couldn’t stay.
But today I do.
