Wanderlust

She embraced the beauty of a new life
Her book remained on her lap while she thought of her trip
She always dreamed of exploring the world, but now
That dream was coming true.

Wanderlust. 
That's what they told her

Although she wasn't doing this to get away
She wanted to meet new people, new places

She moved her leg impatiently, waiting
The boy seated next to her smiled at her
But she was too busy to notice

He whispered something but she couldn't catch it
The lights from outside enlightened the notebook she was carrying
And the boy's eyes sparkled with love

He wrote a note and passed it to her
She ignored him and boarded the plane
He remained silent

She fell asleep the whole trip

She arrived and smelled a whole new place
Her soul filled with wonder
There was no question, she truly felt wanderlust.
