we met 35000 feet above the earth,
and everything was perfect up there.
the world couldn't touch us, and our lives were put on hold.
we had three hours together, with the world far below us,
but it felt like only a moment.
we fell into each other as the plane descended,
and with the pressure of the cabin,
our lives began to again weigh heavily upon us.
we cannot be together
as we wander here upon the earth's surface,
for we wander in different directions.
I long to return to that place
35000 feet above the earth
where I could have you, and nothing else mattered.
