I realize now that I’ve never had it back. I’ve been wandering the earth with a hollow chest all this time. I know that my heart—my soul—has been sitting right here, in the palm of her hand. Blood spreads through my veins again for the first time. It feels like life is being breathed back into me as I watch the sunset over the red rock canyons, illuminating the girl of my dreams in a golden glow.
