In that moment she realized they are nothing.
In that moment she realized he doesn't love her, and he doesn't want to.
In that moment she realized she roams outside his walls.
In that moment she realized she's built her own.

Sometimes, we build walls because we don't want to let people in.
The risk of pain is too much to handle.
Sometimes, we build walls because we want to see
Who will work to break them down.
And sometimes, we build walls because we want to prove to ourselves
Who we desire to break them down.
And when that person fails to do so,
We find ourselves surrounded by loneliness and despair,
Pasting a plastic smile on our face,
And we have no choice but to drown ourselves in pain,
Because finding our way back would mean we have to feel anything but numb.

And in that moment, she realized she's still naive enough to continue holding on.
