Airports

I still taste you in the airport air,

every time I land back home.

It was easy, doing the math, that summer.

On one side of the equation: you and me.

On the other: the world.

No one faulted me for my decision.

airports

There are worlds without you that I still have not seen,

and there is a world with you, that I lost the right to see.

I don't know which one I wish for, but I know this:

Every back road feels like nostalgia strangling me for those long summer nights,

Every restaurant feels like a movie montage of bad meals and good conversations,

Every house in this town could have been the one we lived in.

airports

Every dream I have is still alive,

except for the ones I never dreamed of you and me.

airports

I dream now, for you and me.

Author's Note: Apologies for the odd stanza breaks, except this website hates me and wouldn't let me space normally, nor just use hyphens. I swore I'd never write fanfic poetry again - and I don't think this counts, since I just happened to write it, then realized it was Luke and Rachel.
