'I don't want you waiting for me, that just breeds resentment and anger.' I understand, I do Where you were coming from when you broke up with me I understand the fear that I might be waiting for you out of obligation, or cowardice But now we're broken up, have been for over a month I've said and done some stupid things since then But only because I didn't want to accept What I really think now Is the truth That I still want to wait for you We aren't together, there's no obligation for me to wait for you any more You've given me a ticket out, a door to escape through After all the pain and suffering And I've been standing on the threshold And perhaps glimpses of what lies beyond the door have been tempting But I'm closing the door now Still on the same side as you Because I'm choosing to wait No strings attached This is the choice I'm making Perhaps it isn't the right one But I don't think it's the wrong one So I will sit here, and I will wait And maybe one day, you'll want to try again as well And we can build something new together On the glittering ashes of what we had

i want to shed the Gryffindor armour that I built around myself to make myself seem strong and brave, and show the world the Hufflepuff that i used to be, back when i was happy simply for myself and by myself. the person who made dumb harry potter references to help explain situations.
