The Trip

The trip refreshed his hope for something he had almost forgotten he had at one point. They met almost by accident and yet her appearance meant so much. He knew then as he knows now that Sara is not for him, but she showed him that he was not alone. That maybe he could fall in love again. Really fall in love again. Someone he could read to late at night in bed. She would listen attentively as they stepped into the looking glass of someone else's world. Their hands together as they gazed upon the scenery through eyes of someone else. There would be someone who would value what he had to offer, even after he, as a physical being had faded. To her, he would be similar, not brainy, not strange, but a recognizable part of her life - like he had always been there.
