Dear Stranger,

It's been a while since we've met.
It's been a while since our eyes were locked on one another.


Dear Stranger,

It's been a while since we've talked.
It's been a while since our souls bonded to each other's.

Dear Stranger,

It's been some time since we've held each other.
That first, second, third, last time we were in each other's arms.

Dear Stranger,

It's been a while since we fell apart.
It's been some time since that long night.

Dear Stranger,

It's been some time since we went back.
It's been some time since we were just extra's in each other's screen play.
It's been more than months.
It's been quiet.
It's been crying into my dinner before eating it.
It's been staring at old messages.
It's been wanting to forget the good memories, as well as the bad ones.

Dear Stranger,

It's been hell since you left me.
But I'll Be Okay.

Eventually

Nothing. Idea...Nothing.
No words. Too many words. Not enough words.
Never enough words.
Lacking. Empty. Blank.
Lacking. Empty. Dull?
Bland. Uninteresting.
Blocked.
No Creativity.
No Talent.
No Motivation.
