on honeysuckle

I want a house on a beach and you in my dreams, I need water, yeah, and a love love love love.- Tegan and Sara (Time Running)

I walk past a house, staring off in the distance.

There's a smell that makes me stop.

the smell of honeysuckle-

and I'm not walking through a random neighborhood, I'm standing in an alley and I'm eight years old and I'm surrounded by bushes of honeysuckle streaming down an old wooden gate.

I guess things might just work out okay,

after all.
