Tiona Truong ‘25 One-Sided

PRISMS

One-Sided

Some things are just far from reach, like the dream of fantasies that drifts slowly across my mind.

It appears out of nowhere a pretty sentiment, mysterious yet intriguing, almost translucent under the glowing moonlight.

Chasing after it only seems to set us farther and farther apart.

But I feel it beckoning to me, as if I were familiar to it, and it to me, as if we owed something to each other.

I feel as if I am grasping at thin air as I reach out my hand for something that was never truly there.
