Opening Day...

Opening Day.
The excuse to be off (from work and school).

Him next to me.
The two of us.
Soaking it all in.
Together.

The details?
While they matter on some level…
…they end up blurring together.
We’ll lose them over time.
At least I will :)

…but the experience?
We’ll carry that feeling forever.
And that pounding in my heart agrees.

Fuel for the long haul.
