how to fall out of love

Where were you? She asks and I don’t know how to answer - how can I explain I’ve been to the end of the world, the very edge - felt the horizon in my fingers? I can’t even begin to start on the wonders I’ve seen, oh the magic! the creatures. It feels like a distant dream in my atoms. But very real.

Nowhere, I answer. And we both know I’m lying. I can taste the trails of salt, oceans and warm stars in my footsteps as I leave her hanging half outside of the front door and go home.
