The weather is warm and there is not a cloud in the sky. The sun is shining on everything that I can see. There are no buildings, streets, electricity, or any other sign on humanity as far as I can see or hear. The grass I'm sitting on is green and filled with life, as well as the trees I see that around me. The sound of birds echos in the air and drift away with the breeze that sweeps by. As I sit there my body relaxes and all stress leaves me, clearing my mind and opening it to the pure nature around. Any memory or thought of the world I came from quickly leaves my mind and disappears leaving only the now and the future. I think to myself how this all exists. The random natural perfection that I see amazes me and no matter what I look at, I don't see a creator; I don't see a designer; I see nature. The untouched path that is perfect in all ways imaginable.

The sun shines bright in my eyes and I close them. The sounds around me get louder and the little things are now more noticeable. Its peaceful. Its relaxing. I fall back into the soft cushion of the the grass; my arms are spread out to my sides. It felt as though the ground had formed around me into the perfect shape. As I lay there I lose track of time. I thought to myself how long I had been laying there. Had it been 1 hour? 2 hours? a day? I didn't know. I didn't care. I was where I wanted to be. But a feeling went through my body; a piece was missing.

The sounds around me started to fade and the red of the sunlight through my eyelids turned to black. I was asleep.

I awoke to the sound of a voice. A voice of a girl saying my name. The sun in my face kept my eyes closed and my body was limp. I couldn't move. All I could do was wait.... Next to me I felt a presence and in my ear she whispered my name and kissed my lips. A shock went through my body and I was able to move. I turned onto my side and opened my eyes; and there she was. I smiled. She smiled. We smiled. She was the missing piece.
