it hung over the lake, slowly fading beneath the horizon as we watched. the last night i spent with her, the last night i spent on superior's coast.
we set up camp a few hundred metres from our friends, my roommate and his girlfriend. everyone was so close, spending the entire summer in that staff house.
i was leaving to go to university. she was a year older, staying a week longer, then moving to my hometown, days after i was leaving it.
we bathed on the bathtub island, heated by the sun, we truly did only sleep that night, companionship held us together.
truly did we only dreamed that night. i miss you still.
i remember how you cried before i left, the next morning, after my dad dropped you off at the staff house sixty kilometres north before he took me eleven hundred kilometres south.
i remember how i didn't.
that last sunset, captured by film, hangs over me. i remember our nights and our days. i miss them, the best summer of my life as of yet.
i don't want those days back.
two years is too long to wait.
