I've Escaped Today

I have run away today.

Maybe to Argentina, with a hot boy named Eduardo. We are couped away in an apartment reading Hemingway by candle light. Drinking white wine, and from time to time discussing our deepest thoughts, fears, and aspirations. He doesn't ask much from me, just to be open to talking with him. We stay up til 2 just talking, falling asleep soon after. I imagine i would want the rest of my life spent with him, full of books, wine, and chatter.

or Maybe

I've escaped to England.
My friend and i attacking each coffee shop with an enthusiam not seen by most.We are backpacking, American girls ready to see Europe. We talk of plans to see the Palace, Art Museum, Castles where i can imagine i am a princess, and walk around the gardens. We go shopping, and take pictures of the all the places we seen. Smiling faces, no worries, a past left way behind.

I could be:
Taking a road trip around the states. In a volvo, or an SUV. we packed the essentials. Not even enough money to stay in nice hotels. We want see this big country. Not what we learned from text books, but to see the Delaware River, go to Oregon Coast, wear my Yankee gear in Boston, grab a philly cheesesteak in Philadelphia, get a deep dish in Chicago(take a picture by the Oprah studio for my mom), enjoy the plains of the midwest. We have no idea where we want to stop the trip, just that may never get a chance to do it again, so we'll enjoy it.

So i've escaped today. A day of cloudy skies, sad faces, head that won't stop hurting,being ignored, and feeling if at any moment i could be exposed as the girl who escapes time, a time that seems to fly by before you even know where it went.

I've escaped because i'm tired.

And i don't know if i ever want to return.
