I froze

Arcata CA

Description

I played it out so many times in my head how seeing you again would go. I thought I would feel indifferent and we'd casually exchange hellos and carry on with our days. I figured time apart would heal all of our wounds, the sea would calm down and the dogs would slowly forget each other. I felt so confident with your absence until I saw you again. I froze. Memories of a long drive through Big Sur passed my mind on the way home. If I didn't walk away and take myself home, I would have simply just told you.. drink some water.
