touch the distance

He suddenly broke into my life, my secluded mind. He was a criminal, he cooked and fed me, he repaired the car, he groomed the yard, he taught me and my kids to play baseball, and he gently and firmly knocked my ice away. He is the person I have no longer expected in my dreams. That's how he suddenly appeared. He touched my skin and ignited my passion. The heat of this long-lost life makes me tremble with joy. If I continue to block myself, am I already dead. No, the spring of my life is here, I want to welcome it, the wind is warm, and I can dance again. Not everyone will give birth to the power of awakening. This house is too old, and though it is shining, I am going, and the horizon is ahead. I am not afraid of the long road ahead, I have been lost for a long time. I know that as long as I break free, the new day will be radiant, and my footsteps are no longer slow and lonely. Because he was behind me, when he broke into the door, he announced to me his power, my farewell, the past, myself, and this world that had been confused for a long time. The journey of Tianya has not yet started, and he left again, and I finally have a feeling of heartache. The light of the old house suddenly disappeared, but the light in my heart has been kindled. I was waiting, waiting for the face of my lover to knock on my door again. I know that the journey to the end of the world has begun, I am alone, I can always see him, touch him, hold him, lean on him. This is our end of the world, as long as time is defeated, we will meet again eventually. I've gone, he's gone, Canada has flown by but not gone, and we know that we ourselves are the protagonists of this journey. We know that the end of the world has a direction. When I saw his old smile, when the afterglow of the setting sun shone on our faces and the world behind me, I suddenly realized that the horizon is not far away, time has paved a way for us, we have come a long way, far away.
