take it easy

Deep breaths.

Long walks on the concrete paths.

Ice cream.

It will be okay.

Tell me it's madness, I barely know you...

When I look at it, it's been less than a week and I don't even know your last name.

We all barely know each other, but we cross the same pavement. I speak, you speak, and our stories echo each other's.

Less than a week, I must remind myself.

And I can't believe I've lasted so long.
