"into the night" by theusedpoet (2005-02-22.01) |
i return to you like i said i would.
i turn to you without thinking. with this burden. with these problems.
i face you.
i open to you.
i talk with you.
i laugh a lot when i'm with you.
i smile thinking of you.
to you i keep my promises without even thinking. it's like an everyday feeling. not overly consuming but always it's persistant and i'm always aware.
aware of how i cannot wait for you to be my dinner date.
aware of how i cannot wait for dinner to be over.
aware of how i cannot wait for our after dinner drink.
aware of how i cannot sleep without you beside me.
there were a few nights.
i returned to you like i said i would. alive and naive in the thought of love.
it was that night that you cracked this slowly healed heart of myne.
it was that night that you told me that i was too near to your heart and you did not want to get hurt.
so you hurt me.
i remember fighting back tears in the dark. i was stunned. silently kissed your cheek, whispered goodbye and left.
i remember hearing you cry out "alysia wait"
i kept walking. only because i knew that if i stopped i'd break down and the tears wouldn't stop.
in my room they didn't stop.
after 10 minutes you came back to me. said you missed me and that it felt like you were making a big mistake.
in between tears she whispered
you're right
