To be young and hopeful again

To be young and hopeful again

A Story by Writeforlovely

I want the fire back. I can’t rub two sticks together this time. 


It’s going to take a different approach.


I have to pull it out of me. 


My heart rate increases causing some sparks. 


So I keep on running, but it doesn’t ignite. 


I’m panicking because all I want is to feel the heat. 


I’m so cold. 


My fingertips are blue and my eyes are turning black.


I keep on running. 


I’m almost there. In my mind I feel myself getting hot, and excitement flows through me for the first time in a while. 


The moon comes out and I slip on ice. I roll down a snow covered hill. 


I stay frozen this time. Pain flashing through all of my bones. 


Hope leaves my eyes and I realize i’m never going to feel the same way I did years ago.


When I was young and the world was warm.
