If I had tried to stop you at the airport, would I have succeeded? Probably not. We are both too practical to give way to such whimsey – however romantic the movies make it seem.
And, I would be far too afraid to even try. Either, I would have my heart broken again, or I would be the complete fool and buy a ticket to come with you. But, as you know, running away only makes your problems run after you.
It seems the airport has always been the problem. The first time you went to that airport when we were first dating is when I think you resolved to not need me. You came back changed. Maybe it was just the first alone time away from me you had to evaluate what was happening.
I often live in my own fantasy where I can come crashing in and take you away. Or, just show up and make everything work out. But, I’m no Officer and a Gentleman.
If you ever feel alone against the world, remember, I am always rooting for you.
