I don’t know… Maybe, because when someone knows everything it’s giving them the power to completely destroy you but trusting them not to.
-I heard that somewhere and it seems so true.
And I trust you… but… I just don’t know.
And that poem. What did you think when you read it?
I… Alcohol does strange things to me… I start out fun and happy but later I become… I don’t know. I just start saying things I shouldn’t. I really don’t know what the ‘rest of it’ is…
I feel like there’s more I should be telling you, but for the life of me I can’t think of what that is. I’ve already told you so much, is there anything I’ve left out?
“If Only for a Moment” was written right after we spoke for the very first time. You reawakened some lost fire I had. For the first time since… I felt alive. I smiled a real smile, didn’t have to fake a laugh. You truly fixed a broken heart.
But with that came all the fear and paranoia. A patched heart can break again. A removed mask can be put back on. And a life can turn back into a lie.
As much as I want to enjoy our friendship… There’s always something in the back of my mind trying to ruin it. Telling me to go back to the sad little girl who never let anyone in because I’m afraid, I’m afraid I’ll get hurt again…
And this isn't even the half of it. I'll be able to explain better when I'm more coherent...
Well, I’ve managed to get two poems out of you, whereas you’ve gotten two and four lines out of me… You still win.
But, thank you for the poem. You’ll never know how much it means to me…
