The night is never long enough.

For a moment in time you needed me.

I was amazed.

Like a moth to a flame, I could not resist.

Being there for you.

Holding you.

Like I always tried to do.

You spoke of words unspoken.

As though there were secrets left to share.

Were you trying to give me courage?

Or yourself?

I only ever left one thing unsaid.

Instead of pushing me away,

You should have asked me not to leave.

Just once.

All I ever wanted was for you to need me the way I needed you. Somewhere along the way I realized that it's your loss, not mine, if you don't.

Jace Everett Bad Things

Forget This

I avoid the dead of night
For that's when I miss you

The most

Long-distance phone-calls
Lengthy chat sessions
Lying in each others arms

Just being with you
Was so easy and yet

So hard

She really believed things would change, and for her sake I hoped they would. But to be honest, I hated her for it.

These vengeful hours
will be my undoing

Too late to be night
Too early to be day
Too lost to be found

Impatiently I wait
breathlessly consuming

Every word

Every thought

Every image

Every bit of you

A dangerous tool
at my fingertips
I caress it's jagged teeth
lingering over the thought

Considering

The implications
and consequences

of. my. every. word.

I give in

A dialogue has been opened.

There is no solution to be reached.

Only an aching heart, yearning for the past.

Yearning for a future that cannot be.

Searching...

Too much time.

Too much change.

Too much life.

I don't know you anymore, you who I knew better than I knew myself. I have been given exactly one ultimatum by him. One. You cannot be part of me. I cannot begin to express how much that hurts. It's for my own good, I'd only ache over you anyway. More than I already do. So long it's been since I've hugged you, really hugged you.

I want my friend back.

Once upon a time
You were my everything
With all this time that's passed
I'm not surprised that you can't see
Your role in my life is gone
But in my heart only changed
