The Autumn In Their Eyes






















You are not there. Somewhere in the future, suffering for something that hasn't happened yet. You are not there, in a place where all your worries manifest.

You are not there. Somewhere in the past, reliving your old mistakes and regrets. You are not there, in a place where memories resurrect.

You are here. Right here.

  1. My mind has wanderlust. And sometimes it goes to places I don't need to visit.
    So thank you for this tether.
