it was January 1st,
it was August 1st.
the coldest of days,
and the hottest.
I put my life on hold,
so you could have little trinkets of victory,
and failed to collect any of my own.
I took a 5 month respite.
you couldn't even be there when I woke up.
you got your trophy.
congratulations.
the plan will fall inwards.
i still get my way every day.
you just don't see it,
but you will.
