There are places we go, deep in the woods, in a song, in our minds.
The movement of arms and the pulling of shirt halts the dream.
Reality snaps back in place: A soft smile under dark glasses.
A closed fist and a deep breath bring peace again. Temporarily.
Count to 10. Suddenly it almost didn’t happen.
Almost.

I don't remember which of us said it, but I think we both agreed: Though I'm sad it was needed, I'm really glad this place was there for someone.
As am I.
Sometimes it takes seeing the situation of another to appreciate your own. That's sad too, but I'm also glad that it happens.
