I know I said when I left you things just weren't working between us Anymore. You aren't spontaneous enough. You want to keep me in a box. You never surprise me. I walked away just soon enough. Soon enough to crave a visit. Soon enough the roar Of the Limmat in spring still Stirs my heart. Long enough that the rain drumming down The mist clinging to the Mountains like left washing Pulls me to it. Soon enough That the smell of manure in the spring The clang of the cowbell The twisted buttercups The church bells The call of a child Still settles in the corners of my mouth Turning the edges upwards With the sense that everything is right. We can't ever be the way we were. No. Time does it's job. It slowly stirs. It allows glacial changes we can't discern in our quick successions- The busy nothings that make A life in work. If I'd seen you the way I see you now Would it have worked? Could I have been caught between the fine cogs of your machinery Ticking along? Satisfied. Well we both know the answer to that question, Baby.

Still just as beautiful as I remembered. 🖤 . . . . . #walkinginluzern #pilatus #swissalps #swissmade #montainlove #switzerlanded #lakeside #love #travel #expatlife #minibreak #weekendaway #travelstoke #girlsthatwander #womenwhoexplore
