I missed you. I was gone for long that's true, I've done you wrong. I don't know why, though. My mind's been busy with the highs and lows of life's mystery. I've kept wondering about people and feelings. How they can hurt so much and how they control me. I hate it but that's how it is. You know me enough, you know what I mean. I didn't write my thoughts down because I didn't need to. I don't think it's betrayal. See, I'm writing them now. Better late than never they say. Performing it here is like regaining a strength, really. Like I'm meeting an old friend I haven't been seeing.
And it feels good. I feel tired because of course it's late and I'm in bed but how I'm thrilled for fighting sleep cause once again, I'm inspired by the months I've had to live, away from family and friends I admire, away from the fire of the trouble that used to consume me. And still, not much has changed. I've learned a lot. I've read books and took a plane. I've talked. I've been a fool and unafraid and look. I'm still faithful to a piece of paper and a pen cause after all I've been through, I endlessly trust them.
That's the great thing about you. You don't talk, you listen. You don't judge, you're patient. You don't move, you don't flee. You just stay and stand still and the words are like a wave crushing your skin, brushing your face but you don't care.
I write and you let me. I'm glad I have the chance cause it's the only thing I will never regret.
