Objective

"OBJECTIVE" for some, things change and it usually leads to a heartbreak. the garbage disposal still turns, the weeds still find a way to grow and it's all of what remains of a love that held promise. the pain then becomes confusion and everything that seemed wrong either turns right or just doesn't seem so bad. when the past disappears and you know there is something still there, the freeways never run out of cars. the radio conceives a playlist pulled from your library of love. we often think this can be used for every person we are with but truth be told, it only applies to one. she makes positive that you have your cigarettes, you make positive that she drinks enough water to rid herself of the dehydration she suffers from. we walked the beach for two days. we walked as if we both needed a break from the heartbreak. we did. we used to walk as if tomorrow wasn't coming. today, we knew tomorrow would come and with it, a new objective for an old promise. as the pier licked our feet, as the birds watched as we played in the water, as the sun covered two it knew it couldn't separate, we managed to be real about our reality. in the end, we had the power to turn heartbreak into a break from the heart. we set course for a new objective that we both never really let go of. the objective of that day was simple but we both turned it into something else.
