yesterday was perfect

by pattikeno on October 10, 2015

yesterday everything was perfect
everything was so clear
so heartbreakingly beautiful
the fog surrounded it all
it made it perfect
it made me perfect
and i loved it all
i was afraid i was going to die
i thought this must be
what it looks like
just before you die
that perfect fog
it threatened to swallow me
but created such beauty such clarity
maybe it’s the changing seasons
or maybe it’s something else
all i know
is that
yesterday
everything
was perfect
everything
was beautiful
yesterday everything was perfect
yesterday was beauty
perfect and clear
and i don’t
think it will
ever be that way again.

  I’ve actually experienced moments like that a few times in my life. Where it seemed like time stopped and everything was perfect and beautiful. I’m the type of person that sees beauty everywhere anyway, but those moments were amazing.
