Wait

Wait. I close my eyes and once again I see myself having the time of my life with the most familiar girls. The most familiar people.
Wait. I can see us leaping into puddles and splashing in the rain on the most incredible day of May. The hot Texas rain is like a shower to my deprived skin. I can feel it, smell it, taste it when I really try.
Wait. I see happy Monday mornings, farmers' markets, swimming pools, chocolate brown eyes, a laugh, a smile, a warm embrace...
Wait. I can still see me, giddy happy, bouncing up and down, squealing like a child. I am a child! Who am I kidding?
Thank God I've been reminded of that. Thank God I don't have to be serious, I don't have to put on my business face. Thank God I can take a step into life as it once was. Life...what are we? Just small segments in the greater scheme of things. Why take it so seriously when we have something much greater waiting for us beyond the clouds?
Wait. I'm home. Never make me leave.
