Description
I had my back to you.
I was so determined not to look at you.
My feet- were they really on the ground?
I didn't know, and I didn't care.
I'd locked myself up, and didn't want to let anyone in,
But somehow I still managed to hold onto the key.

I felt your back press against mine.
The breath left my lungs at the sudden warmth.
I was not alone in the world, not anymore.
I wouldn't be pushed away this time.
My heart started pulling against the chains I'd built
As you gently gripped my hand before walking down your path.

The cold wind swirled around me.
My hair suddenly started to whip at my face.
How you'd managed to break the lock with your back turned
Is something I'm sure I'll never know.
I turned on my heels, my eyes searching for you.
I wanted to feel that warmth again.

I'd started running,
Kicking up dirt from a speed I'd never dreamed of.
My foot caught on an invisible wire,
But instead of falling on my face and getting it caked with dirt,
The ground disappeared in a flash,
Gravity ceasing to exist.

Was I falling or was I flying?
The lines between the two states were starting to blur.
I flipped around in midair, tumbling through it.
I felt a smile form on my face, my heart open.
I stared at the key in my hand, my grip loosening.
I didn't need it anymore, did I?

Spinning around, as if to gather enough momentum,
I threw the key down, or was it up?
It left my hand, flying straight into yours.
When you smirked at me like that, I gaped.
You weren't the pompous prince they all said you were.
You were just a kid like me, with a black leather jacket and skinny jeans.

You swept me up in your arms.
We spun in midair and you never let me drop.
I didn't know if my eyes were shining, but yours were.
The warmth I'd felt before returned,
And I held onto you tighter than I'd ever held onto that key.
For the first time, everything felt perfect.
