I‘ve been sitting here for ages. Maybe i came here too early? Stupid airports. It‘s getting boring by now. Being alone isn’t really my thing. Being alone without anything to do is even less my thing. Maybe i could listen to some music? I look into my bag. Where did i put my earbuds? I look everywhere. Goddamn they can‘t have vanished. Argh. Why does this keep on happening?? I literally double chec...

“Did you hear?”

“What!” My Bestfriend—Jesseca—pleaded.

“Your crush is switching schools, _to yours_!” I exasperated.

“Oh my gosh! How did you find out?”

“You remember James friend?”

“The dude that Lillie’s friends with?”

“Yes!”

“Oh!” She squealed, and I joined in.

Another guy was right behind me and I accidentally bumped him.

“Sorry,” we said in unison. That clued an awkward laug...

Why? Why is it me who has to feel this pain? This heartache?

I thought I found the one, sure, we only knew each other for a moment, but it felt like a lifetime.

I feel the ache growing as we take off, flying farther and farther away from each other.

I pull my knees up to myself, trying to become smaller. Trying to take the heartache away.

Will I ever see him again? Probably not.

Maybe it wasn...

A hug

That’s all I need

A really long hug

Please

I know

It’s hard

Hugging me

For longer than 10 seconds

I need it

But i can dream

I can wish

I wrote this a week ago in drafts

And it happened today

It can be real

Patience and hope is all that’s needed

And God will make it true...

As the final boarding call echoed through the terminal, they shared a lingering embrace, both reluctant to let go. She whispered, "I'll wait for you," and he nodded, though uncertainty clouded his eyes. He watched as she disappeared through the gate, feeling a strange emptiness settle in his chest.

The days that followed were a blur of routine and restless nights. He found himself constantly chec...

Planes are…fine.

Lou doesn’t love them. She isn’t afraid of heights. They are just confining without any fresh air. But they are temporary. They get you to a different place far away. So they are acceptable. As long as the place they touch down in has a lot of animals.

Another reason to not like them is because that her animal friends can’t come on the plane. She usually doesn’t get to bring t...

Cassius looked over to see Griffin waiting in line for a flight far from home. He had sworn he would get a one way ticket to somewhere far far away. Griffin was tapping and waiting for the line to move. Cas wanted desperately to change his flight but he had his kids. Cas knew that Griffin was his love but he couldn’t find it in him to admit it. He touched his cross then touched the bracelet Griffi...

There’s always hope…there is. There has to be if this love is to remain strong and true. From the moment our lips embraced each other, I felt the truth. I didn’t just know…I felt it. Our eyes locked in before we separated our bodies from one another. This was the broken moment. This was the honest moment. This was the time to say goodbye to my one true love.

Your dark hair being carried off by t...

The middle seat. Nine hours of subtle elbow fighting with my neighbors. Holding it as long as possible to avoid the awkward “excuse me.” None of it mattered. She was back. The spark was still there. I saw it in her eyes and felt it my heart.

I didn’t need movies to entertain me. The memories I’d long confined to a dark corner of my mind, I let them play freely for hours. Every walk, those first t...

“I mean, is there any chance I can convince you otherwise?” Sam wasn’t desperate but she sounded so.

The dreamy guy whose name she still had yet to glean, simply smiled. It was perhaps a little condescending.

“I don’t think that’ll work. And deep down I think you’d agree with me.”

She thought about this, eyes averting from his inviting cheekbones, his broad shoulders. She found courage to sp...
