It was only supposed to be for a little while. He wanted to see what it was like up there in the sky. She felt a different pull. It held her in place. He understood, but it wasn’t the same for him. He lacked her gravity.
Maybe he would have asked her to come along, but they both knew she couldn’t. It wasn’t that he wanted to get away or she wanted him to go, far from that. It was just… there was something else up there with the clouds in the sky, and he had to see for himself what it was. And who was she, she asked herself, to stand in the way of a dream? Really, she was happy for him. This was what he really wanted.
He was already going when she tried to say goodbye. Only he moved so fast, and her arms were so short, and they were suddenly so far apart.
And it was only supposed to be for a little while.

I bought that shirt. It's a bunny chasing a balloon (obviously). I like that shirt. It reminds me of that one birthday I chased after balloons.
Third post today. That's a sign of how boring my paper is. Makes up for my past for days of.. nothing. Really going back to work now. :P
