She was an enigma.
Hard to understand, mysterious and frightening,
Every time I tried to just tell her how I felt, my courage was
Washed away, never to return again until I once
Again worked up the courage to even
Say hello.
The short time we shared lefts its mark on me, and I
Hope you don’t forget me, although it’s fairly
Easy to, apparently.
Oh, heartbreak isn’t so bad once you’ve become
Numb to its feeling. The same way people who frequent the
ER don’t mind the needles and tests after a while.
That kiss. Those kisses.
How could an insignificant action, an action that has no
Actual value anymore, no honor, how could it be
That those kisses made me feel more alive than ever before.
Gone. Gone now.
Oh well.
Times like these are made for moving on.
And I’m okay with that. It’s what I’m used to.
When is it going to change?
All of the time inside of my mind I am
Yelling and screaming right past this smile.
