I remember you led me up the mountainside
We hiked there together left arm in left arm
In fifteen years I dip my hands into the cold, fast-flowing water of a creek in the mountains
In fifteen years I pour the cold water from the fast-flowing creek on my head and watch as it drips off my chin and down my body
In fifteen years I shove my head into the cold, fast-flowing water as I complete my transformation
I remember
We watched the sun set
In fifteen years I see the sun as it comes crashing into the earth suspended in slow motion, engulfing the entire world in night
