To no one

You keep on running even when your feet are bleeding 

When the wind changes direction and blows sand in your eyes 

You wait for no one

Because you are a summer breeze 

You are the feeling right before your feet leave the high dive, right before the first tear rolls out of your eye 

You are the first to turn up the radio, 

roll down the window and stick your head out because you like to pretend you are only particles in the wind

But you are more than a molecule 

You are the universe 

The matter that holds the sun up and the earth on her axis radiates from your lungs  spills out of your mouth it rolls down your eyes. 

Love yourself.

And one day you will float on 

Flowing down a spiral staircase 

Pouring out across pages and places on a map

And the people you fall in love with and eventually leave

Will remember the time they caught the summer breeze 

Forever is only a day 

And I'll see you soon
