he never saw Molly again.

and you reached in deep again, from all those years, and dragged me back from under the water and watched me as I lay gasping, breathing in air again, and it was being born again.
naked and shivering, I crawled towards you and you cradled me like before and we sat there; quiet and watching the horizon change as we held hands waiting and watching eternity crash along the shore.
our wings moved and they felt a wind rising; iridescent and blinding in the light of the sun, now on its way to a seeming death in the ocean and we flew looking at each other in some sort of surreal vision, only the reassurance of touch making it a reality.
our souls having been forsaken for some time are finding each other again, finding a measure of being in one piece and the stars slowly came out to watch our dance.

for a time, for some time. there was only us and nothing else.
