Words. Words on paper. Drawing it out. What is it to be happy? What is it to lose? Why do we fight? All I have ever wanted was to be close To someone To anything Each time I get a little closer It gets so much harder. I once dreamt of life. Endless possibilities, like shards of a broken mirror, they stare at me. Asking the same questions, giving different answers I know this is the way it was supposed to end. It was nice to dream, for a while. It was nice to pretend, no more. I loved her with everything, it wasn't enough. I let her go, hoping she would find herself. But I cant stand it, I can't take the lottery. A pale image of what we once were. It was nice to dream. I held on as long as I could, through the fire and blames, the best and worst. I'm going to have to start living. For myself, by myself. Years of searching gone to waste. I thought it all lead here. Maybe it did, the story isn't over. All I ever wanted was to be close. To someone, to anything. Have I ever deserved it? Earned it? It was nice to dream. Sometimes its easier to find something new than fix something broken. But I was never looking for easy. Or was I?
