Need that assurance before midnight, I do.

Watch me watch you, remember, you’d miss me missing you. Confidence in all the wrong places, head and heart, logic and emotion.

Torn apart.

Oh but it’s irony. Classic ‘ cry wolf ‘ . I should have figured. Truth I was telling, love I kept waiting. Was I hesistant, earlier? Was I?

Was it that once again I pictured myself having the things I value the most taken right from my hands. To have, only to lose. I could’t.

Hurtful to watch, to say the least.

As it appears, first time for everything. Only maybe I’ve ever cried for, and about a girl, but this feels different, I’m sure you’d come to know. Though not soon, I hope.

With all that’s said and done, and after they’ve finally had their fun. The puppet strings loosen.

Fault me, I came knowing. I should have prepared myself better. Braced myself. Only it takes a while to build up that wall once you’ve taken it down.

Lights Flickering. flame dwindling. Index, doodling. Dreaming, yes? No?

Fleeting, do I ask?

I ask.

Now, about that wall..
