Dreamt - 25

Ginny had dreamt about the world after the war—

Freedom and happiness and relief.

She hadn't thought about living though,

Only about not being gone.


Delusional - 29

To think that things would go back to how they were…

To think that she would have her fairy tale ending…

And living was hard—

Harder than surviving—

More.


Transportation- 30

Because life wasn't about existing;

It wasn't about getting somewhere.

Life was about living —

About going,

About being.

And maybe Ginny didn't know

Where she was going,

Who she was.


Companionship - 30

And maybe Ginny wasn't the only one who was lost.

But then maybe they could find themselves together.

So they charted the terrain side-by-side,

Catching each other as they stumbled.


Reach - 29

They weren't sure what they were reaching for—

Didn't know how to get it—,

So they reached for each other instead.

And somehow, impossibly, they found they were

Living.
