In what world do strangers become admirers? In what world do admirers become romantically involved? In what world do romantically involved people become distant friends? How do distant friends become enemies? Please tell me… How do you recover from being hurt by the one you loved the most? How do you skillfully apply chestnut concealer to a tear-stained face? How do you not cry yourself to sleep after an unexplained separation? How does one visit the coffee shop where Sinatra played softly in the background drowning out the deafening voice of anxiety as he held your hand ever so tightly, calming your panicked inner thoughts? How does one forget the feeling of insecurity after their first kiss, spending countless showers analyzing what it possibly could’ve meant? Do they teach little boys to experiment with little girls’ hearts in your world? Only in your world can you take a virgin’s lips and steal her innocence with a kiss. Only in your world can you take an insecure virgin’s affections for you and devour them with a smile. How does one simply stop loving you, even after all the pain you’ve caused?
