Insight.

Peaceful days are the best. Going outside for a walk in the park, while feeling the light breeze blow through your hair, smelling the sweet yellow tulips, feeling the rain pour lightly on your skin, hearing the sound of cars pass by while swishing through the rain; all while the music in my ears are pumping so loud I can barely think.

I sit on the grass, waiting to hear my phone sing my familiar ring tone. Time passes by slowly, but in a peaceful way. I don't feel anxious, or overwhelmed. I feel.. nice. I gaze, taking in the view; street signs, houses that are too-close-together, graffiti tags on the sidewalk, red swings, white slides, chain-link fences, tall buildings, blue skies. I close my eyes, somehow still seeing what's around me.
My phone sings. My mind stops working when I hear
"Hello,"
I can hear the smile in his voice. I take a second to cherish this moment.
"You always have to have the first word," I retort.
He laughs.
"Only because you always get to have the last."

He's right you know.
