Nothing else had ever worked out...

My mind is wandering. It seems I strayed off course right into the eye of a tornado. I wish I were here with someone who could bring peace to my heart. Someone with whom I could spend a little time without being afraid that everything would be destroyed come next sunlight. Someone like her. With that reassurance, maybe I could, even amid the chaos, find time passing more slowly. We wouldn't even have to talk, just be silent for a while because we'd know that against the sheer force of a tornado, there is little room for conversation. Just for a bit, I wouldn't have to worry about serious matters, about difficult decisions and hard words. Only for a bit.
