And perhaps, to Run Away with you is not an escape, but a return

‎ I crave something so much more than just a mere closeness, I crave intimacy. ‎ There are existing places that are meant for only between two heartbeats; ‎ Beating all over again as if it would stop once one of them began to step away from each other’s comfort. I want to be in that place — where reality becomes soft, where constellations are free from darkness, a world where gravity forgets our names simply because I long to be with you in a world where our hearts weigh no more than a feather. I just want you beside me, not having to explain why we’re tired, why we’re distant, or why we’re trying so hard to stay whole because we’re in a place where existing isn’t required pressure. ‎ ‎ *Could you drive with me* until the roads forget to write our names and the horizon will become our only destination?‎ I am not asking for forever, I just want one night where the weight of our shoulders could finally meet and learn how to lean itself to each other. ‎ ‎ Running away, as I thought—means physically leaving a place or situation, often to avoid danger, conflict, or responsibility—and it’s more than about escaping the world, it’s about escaping the versions of ourselves that the world keeps demanding us to become. We’re not cowards from wanting to Run, we are simply finding a place where the world woven from sunlight is more far from sorrow. ‎I want to Run Away with you. Out there. Beyond the noise. Where we could be closer and far from becoming strangers, where fears of being vulnerable fade away and *become more familiar with peace that only each other could bring. ‎ ‎ And when the dusk is finally coming, making our shadows fade in the background of darkness, nothing will have ever changed. The same streets will be waiting, same responsibilities to carry, same questions that remained unanswered. ‎ ‎ But I hope*, we’ll choose to return to each other with lighter hearts, carrying the comforting thought that somewhere beyond the skyline, there is still a place where we can breathewhere we could just sit beside each other, say nothing, and be freeand if life becomes so much weight to carry again, we’ll know exactly where to return; *In a place where two heartbeats carrying the same burden and learning how to rest in each other’s presence. *** ‎ ‎ Would you Run Away with me?
