It has to be said that there is more to life than the miserable drone in my head. You only have to look around at the people who truely have nothing to realise that the basics of life have a way of taking you over.
Of course I'm talking about love.
I've felt it recently and now it's gone.
It's missing - walking away. The horizon will swallow it soon.
And i'm being brave.

But then you see that some people really do not have anyone. And although I often think that no one would really notice if I wasn't around, in truth I suppose they would at least notice my absence. And in some ways maybe I even like the fact that I can be who I want to be, with no regard.

But some people truely have no one.
Others have people, but nothing to attach them to a time or place.
And sometimes I think I would prefer that. Just to have someone would be enough somehow. Just to know that we are connected, that we have connected. I guess it's a form of loneliness. Some people fill it with booze, others with smokes. With me it is mountains and music.

And now I want to go running. Maybe past that horizon. Just to feel the air brushing coarsely inside my throat, making me feel that I am alive. That I have things to run to and not from.

Back to reality is when it's time to escape.
