the day before 

I was stressed 

to the point where 

my whole body 

could have burned 

I thought I ruined you 

those constant thumps 

of my heart 

only kept accelerating

getting on a plane 

was very frightful 

it may have been a spasm 

but the thought of you 

being hurt 

sad 

all alone 

kept invading my every thought 

it upset me greatly 

how the whole situation happened 

looking down at my phone 

for any hope or happiness 

and yet, I found happiness 

you text me back 

reassuring that I was okay

I was overthinking the situation 

but we were okay 

we were okay. 

that was the best sentence I've heard that day 

the plane has taken off 

it is a long journey

the plane has landed 

in the airport 

as a transit 

awaiting my next plane 

the situation goes downhill 

the brokenness increases 

by a million percent 

another plane 

another long journey 

the thought of 

our friendship 

invades my mind 

even when staying grounded 

to the beat of the music 

the plane has landed 

home at last

I read a text

and you, being you, 

said 

"it's okay. we're fine." 

hearing that, 

reading that, 

made my heart leap 

everywhere it went  

that day 

I truly was grateful 

for our friendship

the next day 

we went on FaceTime 

and everything 

went back to normal 

I love normal. 

normal feels great.
